Lyrics
Verse]
In the empire of Yona
A young ruler lies
His strength now fading
Under moonlit skies
The embers of his life
Flickering weak and low
A tragic tale of destiny
Thought to be coming to a close
[Verse 2]
On his deathbed he lays
With heavy heart and fear
The weight of his kingdom
He can no longer bear
But in the darkness
A cleric draws near
With promises of salvation and release from despair
[Chorus]
Awakening next midnight
His soul reborn anew
A creature of the night
A Jiangshi with an undead hue
From emperor to monster
His future detoured
A tale of transformation
In darkness he's assured
[Verse]
Now with eyes a gold glimmer
A hunger that must be satisfied
The young emperor must go out hunting
To drain the qi of mortal lives
In his lost soul, a new burden heavy
He must keep secrets from those he once relied
[Chorus]
Awakening another midnight
His soul reborn anew
A creature of the night
A Jiangshi with an undead hue
From emperor to monster
His future detoured
A tale of transformation
In darkness he's assured
(Bridge)
Through empire's streets, he roams unseen,
He stalks about, a chill running keen.
His former subjects, now his potential prey,
A tragic irony, a haunting play
[Chorus]
Awakening another midnight
His soul reborn anew
A creature of the night
A Jiangshi with an undead hue
From emperor to monster
His future detoured
A tale of transformation
In darkness he's assured
[Outro]
Now it's up to him, will he be the monster?
Will he be the one now to terrify?
Or will he use this newfound power to defend all his people, the ones he loves?
[Outro]
Now it's up to him, will he be the monster?
Will he be the one now to terrify?
Or will he use this newfound power to defend all his people, the ones he loves?
