Chongun Ode

Sought did we the precious ore

The finest metal, e'er spoken of in myth or lore

Far in the wilderness, a mile off or more

If you were to walk as the crow does soar

Entered we the Caves of red

Dyed by the iron the ground had bled

By my side stood one who never fled

From a battle ere all adversaries lay dead

The rising tide of tigers came

And out his sword he drew

With it he did the beasts tame

In my defense every one he slew.

Within him he held, above many a foe

Valor and courage, His name was ShuMo

He held the strength of an army, though he be only one

and the Honor and Strength of the mighty Chongun!
