Lyrics of Forge Your Legend trailer is another Chinese poem.
OK kids, it’s another poetry time, like many others before :^)
Lyrics are derived from 觀蒼海Gazing Out Across the Ocean, a poem composed by Cao Cao himself.

First line: 日月之行(The rise and set of the Moon and the Sun)
Second line: 若出其中(Appeared to emerge from the embrace of this enormous sea)
Third line: 星漢燦爛 (Even all the bright and brilliant stars in the sky)
Fourth line: 若出其裡(Seemed to be given life and birth by this endless ocean)

The whole poem
觀滄海
曹操Cao Cao(155AD – 220AD)
東臨碣石,以觀滄海。
水何澹澹,山島竦峙。
樹木叢生,百草豐茂。
秋風蕭瑟,洪波湧起。
日月之行,若出其中。
星漢燦爛,若出其裡。
幸甚至哉,歌以詠志。

As I conquered the east and climbed the Jieshi mountain, I watched the boundless ocean.
Waters were so vast, with islands standing amids the waves.
Trees were abundant, and grass was luxuriant.
Autumn winds blew cold and bleak against the trees, making gigantic billows on the ocean.
The rise and set of the Moon and the Sun appeared to emerge from the embrace of this enormous sea;
and even all the bright and brilliant stars in the sky seemed to be given life and birth by this endless ocean.
I felt so ecstatic to see this sight! So I wrote this poem to express my mind (aspiration).
