The Story so Far |
| The red man |
| Killed three hundred, discontinuing the Zhao clan |
| But left one |
| Called Zhao Shuo, the pride of Jin, offspring of Zhao Dun |
| And his royal wife |
| But then came a command |
| A forgery in the emperor’s hand |
| Which read, «Hi |
| Pick the dagger, rope, or sword, because you must die.» |
| So Zhao Shuo |
| Chose the dagger and, as ordered laid himself low |
| But the princess had a new bundle of joy |
| She choked herself to save the boy |
| A person |
| Secreted this child away, we’ll call him Someone |
| The red man |
| Sent his general Han Jue to guard the Zhao clan |
| This Han Jue turned out to be a guy you’d like |
| He spilled his guts to save the tyke |
| Then Someone |
| Took the little kid to Tai Ping to see Gongsun |
| And he thought |
| Of a way Someone and foundling wouldn’t be caught |
| And Gongsun would take the Someone son instead |
| And that red guy would have his head |
| The red man killed the baby, Someone’s son |
| The red man killed the baby |
| I am Someone. |
| The red man is Tu An-Gu |
| The Orphan of the Zhao is you |
