Tell me, where do your silk threads lead?

Weaving the tapestries of history,

Of myth,

And of knowledge,

Across distant lands they weave their stories,

Pave their paths,

Guide the lost.

Across forests and mountains they travel,

Above deserts and oceans they soar

Through empires of spice they unravel 

Past kingdoms of music they pour

By democracies of dance they run,

With the fruits of philosophy entangled,

So tell me, where do your silk threads lead?

O dragon of the East,

With your scales so ruby red,

And your flames of flickering pearlescence,

Where do your silk threads lead?
