Song: Heart War
Theme: Red Cliff
Artist: Alan Dawa Dolma

Surpassing the earth and sky, hand in hand, wave by wave
A thousand cups do not make me drunk, drunk only on moonlight
An understanding smile, no need to speak
Look across, everything is snow-bright

Barehanded and empty-fisted, attack and defend in the plans
Steel ramparts and brass walls, we dare to affront even those
This life is not in vain, as I lie down
The raging fire burns out a phoenix

Let the tears air-dry, this battle, the battlefield of the heart
Won beautifully, onward together, magnanimous even upon losing
Who fears the long night?
Howling is taken as a song, close friends, are the hardest to forget
The rolling Yangtze, boiling hot, is still in the heart
Howling is taken as a song, why not?
Mighty waves split the shore, not in vain

Escape the mouth they become phrases, the meaning is short yet the sentiment long
A thousand cups do not make me drunk, drunk only on moonlight
An understanding smile, no need to speak
Look across, everything is snow-bright

Barehanded and empty-fisted, attack and defend in the plans
Steel ramparts and brass walls, we dare to affront even those
This life is not in vain, as I lie down
The raging fire burns out a phoenix

Waging war in the heart, this battle, the battlefield of the heart
Use war to stop war, onward together, to our heartsโ€™ content
Who fears the long night?
Howling is taken as a song, close friends, are the hardest to forget
The rolling Yangtze, boiling hot, is still in the heart
Howling is taken as a song, why not?
Mighty waves split the shore, not in vain

At this moment, where are you?
This cup, Iโ€™ll drink it dry first
Having been wounded for you, is my medal
How many joys and sorrows, are all ended in laughing and talking?
This moonlight tonight, drinks it up firstโ€ฆ
