Demon Queller Lyrics

Diyu its 10 courts, my home, the suffering which I condone
Agony apparent here; the dead, penance paid, atmosphere of dread
Guardians of this hell ushering in prisoners to inquisition
Questions asked of them; judgement, edict on karmic consequence
With red robe, jet black beard, and intense stare, the King of Ghosts will be feared!
And next, man from Zhongnan, suicide is how your life ended
Genius, glaring here; tested, title of Zhuangyuan contested
Officials deliberated, ordained; denial, appearance profane
Rejections overwhelmed him; ashamed, on courtyard pillar smashed his brain
With red robe, jet black beard, and intense stare, the King of Ghosts will be feared!
So here you stand, condemned, for your chosen sin
Intelligent, no doubt; anything to say, in your defense?
It's decided! You will be my mogwai hunter
My spectral warden
The King of Ghosts!
Arise, now!
Stoically he stood and vowed,
No harm to humans from guǐ allowed
His emperor was afraid and frayed,
Vexed, nauseous, tormented
So his first guǐ hunt had begun
Stalking the spirit, crept up beside,
Grabbed the guǐ, tore out its eye
Prey subdued and prize in hand,
Eye consumed, and thus began...
His legend!
