The Old City of Shanghai,
traditional urban eye,
defended by defensive wall,
which are all ten meters tall.
Behind this wall hid some lies,
which is still being denied.
Mystery beyond this door,
nobody can solve it all.
Arrows flying from the sky,
makes the day as dark as mine.
After decades of the war,
pirates trade with other stalls.
The Old City of Shanghai,
traditional urban eye,
rise and fall you never saw,
marks the glory of its all.
