"Starfall at Wuzhang Plains"
Verse 1 ·The Promise
The wind still hums through Longzhong's reeds
You were twenty-seven I was forty-seven with graying needs
You spoke of three kingdoms I spoke of Han reborn
Under a single oil lamp two souls
Signed a vow that would never be torn
Verse 2 ·The Last Command
The rain at Baidi City soaked through my sleeves
You knelt before the bed took the heaviest trust a man receives
A son who could not stand a kingdom about to fall
You said "I'll serve with all my heart until death takes it all"
And I heard your heart crack beneath that call
Chorus 1 ·
The lamps of Wuzhang Plains went out one by one
You prayed for seven days and nights beneath the dying sun
When Wei Yan burst in and the wind snuffed out the flame
I saw your eyes —regret and peace both looked the same
You asked yourself: this life of endless duty —
Was it honor or was it just a debt of beauty
Chorus 2
But those lamps of Wuzhang never truly died
They turned into a thousand hearth fires burning warm inside
That son who could not stand beneath your folded wings
Lived forty extra years saw forty extra springs
You burned yourself to buy an era one more breath —
Tell me ain't that a kind of blessed death
