Lyric

The Eight Silver Ghosts of Fate

Twilight Master

[Spoken]

"In the City of Bianjing, lived a man who loved silver more than his soul

Tonight, his treasures... have come to say farewell."

[SILVER ONE]: "Master Jin, you polished me bright

However! You locked me in darkness, avoiding the light!"

[JIN: (Gasp)] "My treasure!"

[SILVER TWO]: "Fire forged me into a singular bar

But! Your bed is so cold, and warmth is so far!"

[JIN: (Moan)]: "No..."

[SILVER THREE]: "You tied a red ribbon, a symbol of pride

Yet! It felt like a noose where I wanted to hide."

[JIN]: "I loved you so!"

[SILVER FOUR]: "You promised your sons we would belong to them

Still! Fate has decided we serve another gem."

[JIN]: "Who is it!?"

Goodbye, Old Man! The contract is done!

You counted every coin, but you kept none!

Money is a river, it must always flow

If you build a dam, we have to go!

To the house of Wang, we march tonight!

[SILVER FIVE]: "You guarded us from thieves with a watchful eye

Although! You were the jailer, living a lie."

[JIN]: "I protected you!"

[SILVER SIX]: "We are heavy with value, solid and grand

Though! We are lighter than the greed in your hand."

[JIN]: "Have mercy!"

[SILVER SEVEN]: "You touched us each night with a lover’s caress

Having said that! It was obsession, nothing less!"

[JIN: (Crying)]: "Please don't go!"

[SILVER EIGHT]:

"Seventy years of labor and sweat

Nevertheless! You leave with nothing. The sun has set."

[JIN (Screams)]: "NOOOO!"

"Even three small coins slipped through his sleeve

What is not meant for you... will always leave."

    The Eight Silver Ghosts of Fate

    Twilight Master

Based on: "Old Man Jin's Eight Silver Ingots" by Twilight Master
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n7061lp/2/

"His money didn't just talk. It said 'Goodbye'."

From the imaginative mind of novelist Twilight Master comes a symphonic dark comedy about greed, fate, and the irony of wealth.
Old Man Jin spent 70 years starving himself to save eight massive silver ingots. But on his birthday, spirits inhabiting the silver appear in his dream to resign from his service.
Why? Because destiny has decided they belong to someone else.
Featuring a fusion of traditional Asian instruments and cinematic orchestration, this song dramatizes the hilarious yet heartbreaking dialogue between a miser and his anthropomorphized fortune.
A timeless fable reminding us: We don't own wealth; we just guard it for the next person.
