[Lyrics]
(Verse 1: Spring - The Past Glory) High within the tower, the feast of spring Passing round the cup, while the people sing Through the ancient pines, moonlight cast its glow Where has all the glory gone? Does anyone know?

(Verse 2: Autumn - The Warrior's Camp) Autumn in the camp, white with morning frost Cries of flying geese, mourning for the lost Swords stuck in the ground, shining cold and bright Where has all the glory gone, in the dead of night?

(Verse 3: Present - The Desolation) Midnight on the ruins, the Moon looks down Shining all alone on the broken town Ivy on the walls, creeping vines remain Storms sing in the pines, a melody of pain

(Verse 4: Eternal - The Impermanence) Heavens never change, stars are standing still But the world of men, rises/falls at will Still the Moon remains, casting down its beam Ah, the ruined castle... fading like a dream

The Moon over the Ruined Castle (Literal Meaning)

In the high tower, a banquet of spring flowers held, Passing around the sake cups under the moonlight. Through the branches of thousand-year-old pines, Where is the light of the old days now?

In the autumn encampment, the color of frost, Watching the number of wild geese crying as they pass. The moonlight shone upon the planted swords, Where is the light of the old days now?

Now, the midnight moon hangs over the ruined castle, For whom does this unchanging light shine? All that remains on the walls is withering ivy, All that sings in the pines is the howling storm.

The shadows of heaven do not change, But the rise and fall is the fate of the mortal world. Reflecting this truth, even now, Ah, the midnight moon over the ruined castle.
