Lyrics written and owned by Echo Grove Music. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☽ ✩ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ [Verse 1] I am 이무기, Imoogi, a coil in the stream A whisper in the sea, where mortals dare to dream A beast without title, a serpent of rain Who shed his old skin for a crown and terrain [Verse 2] 동해 용왕, they call me, East Sea divine But I was no god when the world first was mine A thousand years waiting, in current and cave Then rose through the tide like a sword from a grave [Chorus] I test and I trick, I grant and I take 운명, your fate, is the game that I break You pray for my mercy, you fish in my sea But I choose who is lucky, and who ceases to be [Verse 3] You offer me rice, your coins and your fear You sing to the waves, hoping I’ll hear But I am not kind, and I am not tame I come as a shadow, a storm with no shame [Chorus] I test and I trick, I laugh and I drown I pull down the proud, I rattle the crown 시험 is sacred, your trial begins The sea does not judge, but I do... and I win [Bridge] I walked as a man once, in markets and sand With salt in my teeth and blood on my hands You didn't know me, you bowed far too late And I left you to wonder if death was your fate [Final Chorus] I test and I trick, and I never forget I smile at your luck, I double your debt I may bring the rain, or pull down the sun 운명 is written... and I am the one [Spoken] You don’t see me unless I decide... But I see you, little mortal. Swim well. Swim well.
