The Song of the Rose Army

Drifting amidst the fierce winds and torrential rains

We once were in the flower garden

Sisters, please tell me

Eternally hold on to peace and hope

Even the frailest of lives can cry out in madness

Fate, please answer me

Charming fragrances can also cause deadly wounds

When the wolf knocks down the fence

That sword, that gun, that pair of hands

Tremble! O wicked wolf

Is kindness predetermined

The delicate petals are all stained with the blood of enemies

The Wings of Sanctity have shone with brilliance

the most ordinary flower

The verdant and tender leaves are all as piercing as the cold light

The fishy scent of blood and rain has drowned the fragrance

Repent! O despicable soul

Singing while bathed in sunlight and dew

Weep under the claws of evil minions

When courage shines like a sword in the snow

Nestled against the stars and moon, I drift into slumber with the gentle breeze

A sinister and malevolent smile obscured the warm sun

When intention and bibliophilia shine like fire

Trampled through the garden of blooming youth

Are you like a leaf boat

This poem is from the second part of "The Chronicles of the Firelight Ranger," Chapter 52, Section 1. The female protagonist, Ziyue, in her quest to avenge her country and family, established the first female cavalry regiment on the continent—the Phantom Wing Cavalry. The female soldiers, who share similar experiences, should have united against a common enemy, but internal factional disputes led to rifts, nearly resulting in fratricidal conflict. To resolve the conflicts among the female soldiers, Ziyue employed a blend of firmness and gentleness; she first relied on her authority to intimidate the crowd, then used heartfelt words to persuade the masses. Ultimately, with a mix of grief and determination, she sang this military song specifically composed for the Phantom Wing Cavalry. These young girls, like delicate flowers, resiliently survive amidst harsh winds and bitter rain. Faced with ruthless enemies, the only thing that can keep them standing invincibly is the hands they hold tightly together out of love for one another.
