Features: Sitting in heaven, sitting on the ladder of heaven, looking at this stretch of grassland—belonging to which king, how many horses, how many sheep, how many golden arrow quivers, how many golden account books stretching as far as the eye can see—so desolate, my night songs sing. The night songs on the ladder of heaven, the night songs in heaven, the night songs sing me. Let down the bow and arrows, I draw the slopes of the mountains. The sun lets down the bow and arrows, the night draws the slopes of the mountains. A group of mute people, wearing prisons on their heads, dressed in iron bars and fire, sitting on the slopes of the night. A group of mute people, singing the songs of the night, this is my night song.
