[INTRO - single palace bell, distant fox vocal] 딸랑… YEOUBI Nine tails… Sun fire… (whisper) Who called me monster? [INTRO - court-string riff enters, low beat pulse] Gold room Red sky Fox eyes Don’t cry Sun crown Stone liar Nine tails Sun fire [VERSE 1 - elegant low talk-rap, controlled and royal] Silk on the floor where the ministers lied Painted me holy till the garden died They loved my smile when it warmed their throne Then called me curse when I shined alone Mirror in hand, rumor in bloom Whole court shaking when I crossed the room Pretty little fox with a solar name They bowed to the light, then blamed the flame [PRE-CHORUS - vocal lift, drums build under the melody] 쉿, 쉿, hear the bell remember 반짝, 반짝, gold in the ember If I was heaven when you needed me Why am I monster when I leave? [CHORUS - BEAT CUT, exposed vocal, no drums] I was the sun… With nine tails burning. You named me monster… When the throne stopped turning. [CHORUS - FULL HIT, huge melodic chorus, drums and bass return] I was the sun with nine tails burning You named me monster when the throne stopped turning Love me, fear me, write me wrong I still rise when the night gets long Sun-tailed monster, crown of flame You carved my teeth into your shame Call me curse, but you know my song I still rise when the night gets long [POST-CHORUS - chant/drop, short phrases, heavy drums] Nine tails Sun fire Stone cracks Climb higher Nine tails Run, liar YEOUBI Sun fire Ah-ah 불타 Ah-ah 돌아 Nine tails Sun fire Monster? No, sire. [VERSE 2 - sharper talk-rap, more percussion] Gold fan closed with a snap like law Every saint here hid a dirty claw You wanted magic with a gentle leash I gave you summer, you sharpened teeth Seal me in stone, write me in black Throw my name where the wolves look back But I kept one spark under every scar Now the whole sky knows where we are [PRE-CHORUS - bigger vocal lift, stronger build] 쉿, 쉿, hear the bell remember 반짝, 반짝, blood in the ember If I was heaven when you needed me Why am I monster when I’m free? [CHORUS - BEAT CUT, exposed vocal, no drums] I was the sun… With nine tails burning. You named me monster… When the throne stopped turning. [CHORUS - FULL HIT, bigger chorus, stacked vocals] I was the sun with nine tails burning You named me monster when the throne stopped turning Love me, fear me, write me wrong I still rise when the night gets long Sun-tailed monster, crown of flame You carved my teeth into your shame Call me curse, but you know my song I still rise when the night gets long [RAP BREAK - fast and sharp, hard trap bounce] Gold bell, red bead, palace on fire You sold fear and called it empire Cute little fox? Careful, sweet I left claw marks under history You had scrolls I had sun You had guards I had none You had stone I had teeth You had lies I had heat Seal cracked Tail snapped Moon watched Truth laughed One spark Two eyes Nine tails Sunrise [DANCE BREAK - call-response battle chant] [Call] Who wore the crown? [Response] YEOUBI [Call] Who broke the stone? [Response] YEOUBI [Call] Who took the sun? [Response] Nine tails [Call] Who rises? [Response] Fox rises [DANCE BREAK - melodic chant/drop, simple and fun] Nine tails Sun fire Step left Climb higher Gold bell Beat bite Fox queen Moonlight Nine tails Sun fire Stone cracks Go higher YEOUBI Don’t tire Fox queen Sun fire [BRIDGE - half-time, softer drums, emotional vocal] Maybe I was lonely Maybe I was proud Maybe I was tired Of blessing every crowd Maybe I was hungry Maybe I was kind Maybe being worshiped Still left me behind [BRIDGE - beat drops out, close a cappella] If you call me monster… Say it to the sun. [FINAL CHORUS - BIG RETURN, full vocal stack, brighter than before] I was the sun with nine tails burning You named me monster when the throne stopped turning Love me, fear me, write me wrong I still rise when the night gets long Sun-tailed monster, crown of flame You carved my teeth into your shame Call me curse, but you know my song I still rise when the night gets long [FINAL POST-CHORUS - biggest chant/drop, full drums and ad-libs] Nine tails Sun fire Stone cracks Climb higher Nine tails Run, liar YEOUBI Sun fire Ah-ah 불타 Ah-ah 돌아 Nine tails Sun fire Monster? No, sire. [OUTRO - palace bell returns, soft fox vocal] 딸랑… Gold room Red sky Fox eyes Don’t cry (whisper) I was the sun.
