The Nest of Time

When the lightning of heaven spark-over the head of the night
and make the earth transparent, like the honey of gold,
The angel's song is like the dance of the swarm
and illuminate the nest of time--the giant labyrinth of stars;
The golden car of dragon and Phoenix will carry the mountains of
prehistoric gods
and the giant ship of platinum is suddenly like a outer paradise of the
interstellar giants.



时间之巢

当天国的闪电击穿黑夜的头颅而令大地透明若黄金之蜜
天使的歌声若蜂群之舞而照彻时间之巢巨大的星辰之迷宫
龙凤之金车载来史前诸神之山岳之尊尊而白金巨轮恍若星际之巨人天外
之乐园
