The Hilltop
Lyrics: Li Dongbo
Composition: Li Dongbo
On the silent hilltop at night moonlight sharp as a blade
Beasts are howling through the dark shaking stone and glade
You hear the snarling teeth ahead flashing like a knife parade
This is the final supper now the table's been well-laid
The panther patrols the ridge with medals faded and torn
Vultures and hyenas feast by corpses they adorn
A fox creeps in the shadow's edge sly and battle-worn
While pheasants and rabbits shake in fear they're all reborn
The jungle law is carved in clay
Old pacts still drifting far away
Who will rule the hill today
The rules they write are pure decay
The tiger roars upon his throne still proud and unrestrained
He tastes the food before the rest by power long ordained
High above a mountain ape watches cold contained
Its claws are sharp its gun is cocked its silence unexplained
The jungle law is carved in clay
Old pacts still drifting far away
Who will rule the hill today
The rules they write are pure decay
Oh Make the tiger great again
So Pay your tribute feed the pain
Oh Make the tiger great again
So Pay your tribute play the game
The jungle law is carved in clay
Old pacts still drifting far away
Who will rule the hill today
The rules they write are pure decay
The flames of war will soon arise
Here on this hilltop war never dies
