The King of Giants in Prehistoric Kingdom

When you are not any more fresh fragrant red apple but faithful pure
ruby,
you will see the back of time, the incredible kingdom of the sweet
light.
the palace of stars in which the soul lives and the golden tree in the
garden of heaven.
The ulterior you will be a teenager--the king of giants in prehistoric
kingdom.



那史前之国的巨人之王

当你不再是鲜芳的红苹果而是坚贞纯粹的红宝石
你看到了时间的背面那不可思议的甜蜜之光的王国
灵魂居住的星辰之宫那天国花园的黄金之树
明天的你是一个少年那史前之国的巨人之王
