Taerim

a lasting peace in this world still has not happened
just as this is written, an image appears on the wall
a couple is facing the water, sitting down side by side
serene lake baengnokdam, catching light in the ripples

they are well covered by colorful robes and jewelry
staying in the other side for five hundred years
a woman turns to a man, and a man turns to a woman
looked at each other, no smile no words

her eyes under long hair gaze into the far distance
his look of determination gently ensures her hope
red clouds in the east, coming over the mountain
being wrapped in the silence, things repeat the same

standing up hand in hand, flying into the sky
getting his arms around, she is looking ahead
waves crash on the shore, mist covers the woods
crossing over the mountain, watching animals below

landing by the lake again as if nothing happened
stepping into the water with their sprung shoes on
getting on a wooden boat, sitting face to face
winds are blowing soft, birds are taking wings

moving on the clear water, two birds take a lead
wrapped by warm breeze, two lovebirds follow
embracing in a wood boat, kissing and caressing
holding each other in the pure white light

the wall is as before, a white plane with a puddle
this is a message across the time, the puddle murmurs
the hate was once buried and now it is uncovered
you were once forgiven, now you are forgotten
