Song Recommendation 'Devote the Whole World'
Song Background (Fictional)\Emperor Bai Yan of the Zhou dynasty died on a snowy night ten years after proclaiming himself emperor.\This emperor, born from humble beginnings, disliked luxury. After seizing the throne by force, he abandoned the splendid palaces built by the previous emperor, the Reverent Emperor, and each night he stayed in the Jiulong Tower within the imperial palace. When he died, he was seated cross-legged on the mat in the stone chamber at the top of the tower, directly facing a portrait on the wall.\If any palace maid who had served during the previous dynasty were present, she would surely recognize that the woman in the portrait, with unparalleled colors, was the last imperial consort appointed by the Reverent Emperor of the previous dynasty.\It turns out that after ten years of a nation in turmoil, Bai Yan ultimately followed that person in death. He left behind no words at all. Thus, all the mysteries surrounding the founding emperor of the Zhou dynasty were buried, along with the portrait hung above the nine-tiered tower and hidden behind seven layers of veils, deep within the thick pages of history.\Lyrics:\The clash of swords and the rasp of strings\Who will show you the battles outside the city?\Seven layers of veils, blood stains the white silk\The enemy is at the city gates, yet the six armies do not move\Who knew that when we meet again, life and death mean nothing\Back then, we were entwined in a thousand red threads\A moment's mistake, and such became marriage\Whose old scar is that?\How can one still sip tea without emotion\Shattering this spectacular fireworks\A landscape dyed with blood\How can it compare to the tiny cinnabar between your brows?\Even if I ruled the world\It would only ever be a fleeting splendor\Blood stains the peach blossoms\I only wish to see you again as tears rain down\Hear the swords silent\The tall tower gasps its last and collapses\Is it said that life suffers from doomed romance\Who calculated that fortune for you?\The most flawless elegance is not fake\At the west side of the painted tower, plucking the pipa in return\Warm wind everywhere, yet whose wandering heart?\Falling into reversed beauty with soul given\Still unwilling to face the candlelight mirror\Saying love is picking flowers, not childhood friends\In the end, that calculated fortune\Was ultimately for you, covering the world\The bright moon illuminates the horizon\Who finally obtained the reeds?\The empire screams, warhorses neigh\The quiet roar embraced in arms\Wind sweeps the land with killing intent\After beauty fades, you rule the world\Climbing the nine-tiered tower\Watching a night of meteors streaking\Returning to that brief instant\Silent years are also frightening\Withered vines sprout branches\Turns out time has softly brushed by\In dreams, above the tower under the moon\You stand with your brows just as before\Brushing snow off clothes\Watching the vast world side by side\Returning to that brief instant\Silent years are also frightening\Withered vines sprout branches\Turns out time has softly brushed by\In dreams, above the tower under the moon\You stand with your brows just as before\Brushing snow off clothes\Watching the vast world side by side\In dreams, above the tower under the moon\You stand with your brows just as before\Brushing snow off clothes\Watching the vast world side by side
