[Intro] [Lonesome Dizi Flute] [Melancholic Erhu] [Distant War Drums] [Slow Heavy Guitar Riff] [Verse 1] [Deep Chinese Metal Baritone Vocals] [Full Band Entry] A hundred fierce battles have carved out my name Yet victory's ashes burn colder than flame The banners of Chu still dance in the wind But Heaven now knows this is where wars end I gaze to the homeland beyond the dark plain The rivers... the mountains... I'll not see again No fear grips my spirit, no chain binds my hand Only the silence that swallows my land [Pre-Chorus] [Theatrical Deep Chinese Male Vocals] Then out of the darkness the old voices rise The songs of my homeland beneath moonlit skies Each note is a dagger no armor can stay My kingdom has fallen before break of day The hearts of my warriors grow heavy with pain For home calls us softly... but never again [Chorus] [Ancient Chu Male Choir] Songs of Chu... They call my name... One last battle... One last flame... Kingdoms vanish into the night... Honor outlives mortal life... The Hegemon falls... But legends survive! [Verse 2] [Deep Chinese Metal Baritone Vocals] Yu Ji, beloved, don't weep for my fate No man can outrun what the heavens create The River Wu waits in the cold morning mist Yet I'll meet tomorrow with sword in my fist If destiny hungers, then let destiny feed A king dies but never abandons his creed [Bridge] [Spoken Word] [Deep Chinese Male Voice] 力拔山兮， 气盖世。 时不利兮， 骓不逝。 虞兮，虞兮， 奈若何…… [Instrumental Solo] [Emotional Erhu] [Furious Guzheng] [Melodic Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] [Ancient Chu Male Choir] Xiang Yu! Songs of Chu... They call my name... One last battle... One last flame... Kingdoms vanish into the night... Honor outlives mortal life... The Hegemon falls... But legends survive! [Outro] [Solo Erhu] [Soft Whispering Male Vocals] The River Wu runs... The moon still shines... Only legends Cross the sands of time. [Final Dizi Note] [End]
