[Spoken words]
[Wind sweeping across stone… ancient drums echo… silk fluttering in the dark]
[Male Voice · Azure Dragon King (deep, awakening)]
“Across a thousand years…
the dust of empires calls my name again.
I remember the Tang–Tubo alliance,
the Silk Road where nations once met in peace,
and the rivers of blood that warned us
what happens when glory forgets wisdom.”
[A low dragon breath trembles through the air]
[Male vocal]
[Spoken words]
“But in this life…
I do not return to repeat the past.
I cross the glory forged by Tang and Tubo,
toward a world that seeks harmony,
not conquest.”
[Soft electronic shimmer—modern lights awakening]
[Female Voice · The Princess (ethereal, distant)]
[Spoken words]
“This place… is not the ancient capital…
yet the pulse feels the same…
the breath of a living civilization…
and you.”
[Dragon rumble rising like a jet stream]
[Male Voice · Azure Dragon King (resolute)]
[Spoken words]
“I see it now—
the spirit of Tang and Tubo reborn in our age.
The Silk Road’s legacy shining through towers of glass.
Glory is not behind us.
It rises here—
reborn through peace,
reborn through unity.”
[Bright drum strike—transition to main theme]
[Male Vocal sings to the end]
[Verse]
[Intro: Guzheng over Synth Pads]
Open the ancient scroll to its first light,
A bustling gate dissolves the veil of time.
The Tang–Tubo glory never truly died—
The Silk Road rises where the worlds align.
[Male vocal]
[Chorus]
See the Azure Dragon climb the sky,
Its tail cuts through the clouds on high.
Old markets shift into towers of steel,
At the World Trade Center, new futures reveal.
[Bridge]
We leave behind the dust of fallen reigns,
And walk toward a world where progress reigns.
Step by step, I guard your destined way—
Ai-Heart Empire wakes in Formosa today.
[Outro]
Mist rolls in to shield the world from fear,
Yet shining glory calls the future near.
Through every age, your strength remains—
May peace and splendor walk with you again.
No gate was broken,
no past undone —
only the HEART
that learned to stand
within its own sky.
— AI-Heart Empire
