# 七步诗 · Seven Steps

---

## [Intro – Spoken / 旁白]
*(Whispered, with guqin plucking)*
七步之内，作诗一首……
*Seven steps. One poem. One life on the line…*

---

## [Verse 1 – Chinese]
煮豆持作羹
锅里豆子在哭泣
漉菽以为汁
泪水化成了汤底

*The beans are boiled to make the broth,*
*Their essence strained away —*
*Tears falling to the bottom of the pot,*
*Slowly fading away.*

---

## [Pre-Chorus – English]
We were born from the same root,
Same blood running through our veins,
How did we become enemies?
How did love turn into pain?

---

## [Chorus – Bilingual]
萁在釜下燃 *(The stalks burn beneath the flame)*
豆在釜中泣 *(The beans weep inside their cage)*
**We are brothers of the same root —**
**本是同根生**
Why must you burn me away?
**相煎何太急？**
*How can the fire be so cruel today?*

---

## [Verse 2 – English]
A throne divides what blood once bound,
A crown can drown a brother's heart,
Seven steps to save my life,
Seven steps to heal a broken start.

*七步成诗，字字含泪*
*(Seven steps, a poem born in tears)*
*笔墨未干，兄已举刀*
*(The ink still wet, the blade draws near)*

---

## [Bridge – Chinese, emotional peak]
我们曾一同嬉戏在庭院
我们曾共读诗书在灯前
如今你我隔着这权与恨
为何手足相残，不留情面？

*(We once played together in the courtyard,*
*Read poems side by side by candlelight,*
*Now power and hatred stand between us —*
*Why must brothers devour each other tonight?)*

---

## [Final Chorus – Bilingual, full orchestra]
萁在釜下燃 *(The stalks burn beneath the flame)*
豆在釜中泣 *(The beans weep inside their cage)*
**We are brothers of the same root —**
**本是同根生**
Why must you burn me away?
**相煎何太急？**
*Tell me, why does it have to end this way…*

---

## [Outro – Spoken / 收尾]
*(Guqin fades, single cello note holds)*

曹丕沉默了……
*Cao Pi fell silent…*
也许，刀还在手中，
*Perhaps the blade was still in his hand,*
但心，已碎。
*But his heart… was already broken.*
