The first two verses are based on a book of poetry entitled Hong Yin by Li Hongzhi
lyrics
Great tides wash away the sand and leave true gold
Upon a boundless sea, hardship our ferry home
Smoke like clouds above, the chill of autumn wind
Ghosts and beasts abound, the sin and venom sting
Steel thy will be sure, lift thy leaden leg
Steel thy will be sure
I feel the rain, wash my soul, and the sun and flames warm my face
But it’s a long dark road, and it wears us down, yeah it’s a long dark road, and it wears us down
Within the black of night, among the giant trees,
Ancient words are sung, between the stars and leaves
Heaven and earth align, the whole Cosmos shakes, erected palms in flight
the sleeping eye awakes
Steel thy will be sure, lift thy leaden leg, and I can’t change it, holy rain
I feel the rain, wash my soul, and the sun and flames warm my face
But it’s a long dark road, and it wears us down, yeah it’s a long dark road, and it wears us down
