时尽天霾日难照
Though time was running out, and the heavy haze had blocked the sun away from our land
帝毅臣忠道恒昭
Our unswerving determination and doctrine of loyalty should always manifest
壮士难挥落日戈
Even the brave martyrs could not keep fighting at the time of doom
大明碧血染山河
The righteous blood of Ming dyed the mountain and rivers red

Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy? Yes. p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro.
