Текст пісні
I crossed the threshold dressed in borrowed skin
A daughter veiled where only sons could win
To find the fire burning deep within
In scholar's halls where truth could not begin
He called me brother, never saw the lie
Our bond grew stronger as the seasons fly
With every word, my hidden heart would sigh
In stolen moments underneath the sky
I am Zhu, my heart divided
By the veil I wore, forever blighted
Yearning silent through the night
In love's dark garden, holding tight
Does love have wings or only chains
Can I escape or must I wane?
A summons came to drag me from the dream
My father's will, a cold and cruel scheme
A jade token, sewn with one last seam
My brother-love now shattered at the seam
Duty wrapped around me like a shroud
Another man's name spoken clear and loud
I could not speak, could not cry out proud
My fate was sealed before the watching crowd
I am Zhu, my soul is breaking
No more silence, no more faking
Would heaven hear my desperate plea
Or bind me tighter, not set free?
Does love have wings or only chains
Can I escape or must I wane?
He came to find the truth beneath the mask
His tears fell down, no longer could we bask
In schoolyard dreams, a question left to ask—
Would death itself unwind this final task?
We vowed beneath the willow's gentle weep
A promise carved forever running deep
But joy collapsed before I could keep
The wedding day would steal all light from sleep
I am Zhu, no more divided
All my secrets now ignited
Love demands a price so steep
Either fight or fall asleep
Does love have wings or only chains
Can I escape or must I wane?
His grave lay waiting, cold beneath the ground
In wedding white, I made my final sound
The thunder cracked, the earth began to pound
A lightning bolt that spun the world around
I fell into the dark without a fear
To join the one I held forever dear
The stone gave way, the veil became quite clear
That love transcends what mortals hold so near
I am Zhu, beyond the lies now
Rising upward to the skies now
Does the grave divide or bind
In falling darkness, light I find?
Love unbound, sorrow slain
I am butterfly, unchained
