Stars hang bright in midnight air.
Wind flows through the soldiers' hair.
Time is going, tensions flowing.
Surely danger must be growing.
Nature knows what soon will be.
Birds and bugs and squirrels all flee.
Men of five lay in their tents.
Mighty soldiers, heaven sent.
Many people, young and old.
All of them are very bold.
One young man is bold and able.
Lays his blade upon the table.
No normal soldier is this man.
Greatest warrior in the land.
Proved his worth in many fights.
Showed them his courageous might
Another man sits next to him.
His courage is filled to the brim.
The two of them are more than friends.
Brotherhood that never ends.
Serving under Lord Liu Bei.
Their blades shine brightly every day.
Near their tent there is another.
Xiahou Dun and little brother.
Talk of cousin, Lord Cao Cao.
He wants to rule the land right now.
They will help him into power.
Seeing him makes people cower.
Lastly there is Sun Jian.
Serving under dynasty of Han.
Wants the fighting all to end.
And he'll give his kids the land.
Two boys and one little girl.
Sun Jian will give them the world.
Sun Ce is the oldest son.
But Sun Quan is the mature one.
Shang Xiang, the youngest one.
Strongest woman under the sun.
Crickets' chirping has just ceased.
Horses are the battle beasts.
They are tied up in the stables.
They will likely turn the tables.
Ranking fighters plan the day.
Knowing battle will be gray.
Strategies are formed tonight.
No enemy can stop their might.
Soon the battle will begin.
There's no way that they won't win.
Men will try to get some sleep.
They won't even get a peep.
Do they not know why they fight?
Or are they trying to prove their might?
Either way, it could be bad.
Suspense is driving many mad.
Wind flows through the soldiers' hair.
Time is going, tensions flowing.
Surely danger must be growing.
Nature knows what soon will be.
Birds and bugs and squirrels all flee.
