Lyric
The 8th Enlightenment (feat. HIROYUKI & Axuan)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
Yeah, 嗅いでみろよ この宮廷に蔓延る腐臭を
姉の威光（ティアラ）に群がる 蛆虫どもの執着
民の血を啜り 黄金の杯で乾杯？
そんなKarmaのツケが 払えると思ってんのか兄弟（Brother）！
積善の家には慶事？ 冗談じゃねえ
積悪の果てに待つのは 絶望の処刑台（ギロチン）
権力（Power）も金（Money）も 天の網（Heaven's net）じゃ塵芥
全て失ってから「普通の暮らし」を泣いて乞うのか？
「……黄色の犬を連れて、東門へ兎狩りに行きたい？
遅えんだよ。首に刃を当てられてから見る夢は、ただの幻だ。
俺は、こんな泥舟から降りるぜ」
Throw it away! 投げ捨てろ Fakeの王冠を
Throw it away! バラ撒け 蔵の奥の黄金（ガラクタ）を
絹の衣を脱ぎ捨てて 裸の魂（ソウル）で山へ入れ
孤独の雪で肉を削ぎ 宇宙（そら）の真理を叩き出せ
俺が歩くこの道（タオ）、誰にも邪魔はさせない
風雪がSkinを刺す 瞑想のDeep down
地位も名誉もMemoryも すべてがBreak down
何もない岩肌で 己の性（サガ）と向き合う
神仙？ 永遠？ 違う、俺はただ『真実』が知りたい
（Tick-Tack）時が止まる （Knock-Knock）誰かが来る
雲を割って現れた 二つの影が笑う
「――お前さん、こんな山奥で何をしてるんだ？」
「何も。ただ、この『道（タオ）』を修めているだけだ」
「ほう。ならば聞こう。その『道』とは、どこにある？」
「――天だ」
「では、その『天』はどこにある？」
「ここ（心）だよ」・・・（心）だよ
心即是天（Heart is Heaven）！ 天即是道（Heaven is Dao）！
Throw it away! 投げ捨てろ Fakeの王冠を
Throw it away! バラ撒け 蔵の奥の黄金（ガラクタ）を
絹の衣を脱ぎ捨てて 裸の魂（ソウル）で山へ入れ
俺の鼓動（ビート）が天を打つ これが究極のアンサー
迷いも罪もぶち抜いて 仙界のドアを蹴り破れ！
Yeah... The 8th Immortal
権力（Crown）を捨てた男の、最高の遊戯（ゲーム）さ。

The 8th Enlightenment (feat. HIROYUKI & Axuan)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
Drop the fake crown and let the heavy beats guide you to true enlightenment.
From the reimagined Chinese dark fantasy "Dong You Ji no Yugi" (The Game of the East Journey) by Twilight Master (Hikari Yami Koji) comes the official image song for the eighth and final immortal, Cao Guojiu: The 8th Enlightenment.
Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/2912051607103751246
As the brother-in-law of the Emperor, he possessed absolute power and endless wealth-but he saw it all as nothing more than a sinking ship of corruption. Stripping away his royal silks, he walked alone into the freezing mountains to find the ultimate truth. This groundbreaking "Xianxia Hip-Hop" track fuses heavy 808 boom-bap basses with the traditional, elegant plucks of the Guzheng and the deep strikes of the Dagu.
"Where is Heaven?" "Right here in my heart."
Featuring razor-sharp rap flows and cinematic spoken interludes, this track captures the exact moment Cao Guojiu achieved enlightenment and earned the respect of the greatest immortals. Feel the vibes of spiritual awakening and break the chains around your soul.

Twilight Master
Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
