Silk Under the Dragon Moon

Drama-heavy Chinese palace ballad with female vocals; zither and pipa lead over deep drums, occasional bamboo flute flourishes, First half is playful and romantic with light, dancing melodies; second half grows darker with tense string tremolos and minor-mode shifts, Final section lifts into a soaring, bittersweet resolution with layered harmonies and reverb-soaked vocal ad-libs, female vocals

[Verse 1] Gold pins in my hair You laughed Called me "too proud" I bowed just a little Said "Kneel first Then talk loud" (hey) Your robe brushed my sleeve Fire and frost in your gaze We fenced with half-smiles Every step a small blaze [Chorus] Silk under the dragon moon Hearts stitched tight Then torn too soon From palace gates to cradle cries Vows are written in our eyes You were meant to rule the sky I was meant to stand nearby Hand in hand through bloom and doom Silk under the dragon moon [Verse 2] Three daughters like spring One bold One fierce One kind We drank tea and stories You traced maps in your mind Lanterns Whispered plots Shadows tremble at our door Sweet rice Bitter secrets Bloodstains on the marble floor (oh) [Chorus] Silk under the dragon moon Hearts stitched tight Then torn too soon From palace gates to cradle cries Vows are written in our eyes You were meant to rule the sky I was meant to stand nearby Hand in hand through bloom and doom Silk under the dragon moon [Bridge] One child lost to poison wine One to blades at border line Only one still standing tall Ash in hair She hears the call Far beyond the eastern rain Foreign crown A different name There she learns our buried truth How we paid for love and youth (woah) [Chorus] Silk under the dragon moon Thread runs red But hearts still bloom Through broken halls and distant shores Love keeps opening locked doors You were born to rule the sky She was born to ask you why Past and future Scar and rune Silk under the dragon moon
