Yay for 4th thread! Nice job Zachery! For those of you who are lazy or maybe have slow connections, here's the transcript of the English lyrics provided by sakuraangel @ Channel-Ai (yay! They rhyme.)

心・戰 ~Red Cliff~ Translation
Spoiler:
Shaking the earth, waves hand in hand flow
No earthly wine can rival the moon's glow
A smile knows what no words can know
A passing glance and all is white snow

Let the mind, not the hands, defend the flight
Walls of iron cannot stop our might
This life, not in vain, not in spite
From every crucible, a phoenix takes flight

Wipe not our tears, Let them dry on the air
This war is one our hearts declare
Victory won with beauty and flair
Rise together! Even a loss we can bear
No fear o this long night we share

Let the cries of war be our song
No comrade-in-arms shall our memories wrong
While waves of the Yangtze so long
Seething, as beore, in our hearts so strong
Why not let the cries of war be our song
Waves that crack the cliffs shall not be wrong

Brief voices speak out, From the heart they flow
No earthly wine can rival the moon's glow
A smile knows what no words can know
A passing glance and all is white snow

Let the mind, not the hands, defend and fight
Walls of iron cannot stop our might
This life, not in vain, not in spite
From every crucible, a phoenix takes flight

Minds in battle will clash and collide
In this war our hearts decide
Let war bring peace to the world so wide
Rise up together and battle with pride!
Let no man fear the long night outside

Let the cries of war be our song
No comrade-in-arms shall our memories wrong
White waves of the Yantze so long
Seething, as before, in our hearts so strong
Why not let the cries of war be our song
Waves that crack the cliffs shall not be wrong

A moment so fast, where did it fly
A wine so sweet, let me drink it dry
A wound meant for my ally
Is a medal I hold high
Every joy, every sigh
Our laugh does belie
The moon lights the sky
Let us drink our glasses dry
