**__"Dreams from a Past Life" (an aria from the "Fateful Rebirth")__**
;#;
;#;
Sitting bored on my bed one dusk,\\
half the beaded curtain peeled back.\\
In no mood to awaken yet no mood to sleep,\\
clothes half-worn and eyes half-slack.\\
A sudden gust of wind pushes forth the boat,\\
in dreams a war with borisin we wage.\\
Knife in hand, black and red horses leap on,\\
alongside my husband's warship inn fight I engage.\\
Two twittering orioles land on their branch,\\
with karma past doth this life's grief cast.\\
Ten times reborn, with all its love and hate,\\
how hard can one take of a husband lost.\\
Gazing up I now see a daylight through that verdigris,\\
those past loves and past lives seen only in reveries.

**__"Eternal Regrets of a High Elder" (an aria from the "Dragontooth Tales")__**
;#;
;#;
When the dragon turns red, then the green pines shall shed.\\
Cast by the wind of a cold morning,\\
Feeling the weight of your suffering.
;#;
;#;
When the dragon turns red, then the green pines shall shed.\\
Spinning our glory through time and space,\\
When will I next come to see your face?
;#;
;#;
When the dragon turns red, then the green pines shall shed.\\
Wantonly drinking the silver moon,\\
How many times must we be entombed?
;#;
;#;
When the dragon turns red, then the green pines shall shed.\\
Pass like a dream out of sight and mind,\\
six hundred years in this mortal bind.
