Lyric

Beneath the silent stone, I mourn alone

A thousand words, yet none are spoken

Who will remember me, the hidden beauty?

Not the mighty Wu Zetian

(Who will remember the beauty I once was?)

(Who will remember… I was only your beauty?)

A lonely shadow walks alone

Morning light paints my heart in red

A life of glory feels like a fleeting dream

Who can understand the thoughts I hold?

(It’s your kingdom I long to guard)

The palace walls run deep like the sea

Behind the splendor, how much sorrow lies

You said my hands were stained with blood

But who sees the tears within my heart?

(I just wished to stay forever by your side)

I once stood alone at the summit

Holding power and glory in my hands

Yet in the silence, I wandered

The destiny in my heart spoke no words

(Destiny walks alone… who will grow old with me?)

I once spoke life and death in a single word

Yet I could not bring you back

In dreams, my eyes shed quiet tears

Awake, the pillow is still empty

(Your name has become my fate)

I once stood alone in the skies

Holding heaven, earth, and stars in my grasp

All kingdoms bowed before me

Yet none knew the weight of my heart

(Destiny walks alone… who will grow old with me?)

Storms shake my dreams

So many old dreams shattered

I walked through this red dust only for a true smile

The yellow robe brings no joy

If you were still here, how could I be so alone?

(If I could return, I’d choose to be your wife, not the queen)

When the fleeting splendor turns to smoke

All that remains is the cold moon above

My heart has no rest, yet no regret

In the next life, I wish not to be an emperor (To meet again)

In the next life, I wish only to make you smile (Holding your hand)

In the next life… only… only…

(Hmm… hmm… hmm…)
