Thematic in the sense of "people singing at/to Shen Wei/the Black-Cloaked Envoy". In roughly chronological order.




Shen Wei, to the young boy who lost his little brother
The Dark Element - You Will Learn
You will learn what to fix, what to break
and who to love, who to hate
You will learn what you are
It will hurt but you will learn, you will learn


Kunlun, to the young Black-Cloaked Envoy
Vienna Teng - Never Look Away
I want the storm inside you awoken now
I want your warm bright eyes
To never look away
Don't you ever look away


Dixing, to the Envoy who slumbers beneath the soil
Epica - Banish Your Illusion
Can you save us now our world will end
Crave us now 'cause no one's daring
Liberate our promised land
The tables will be turning
Save us now there won't be peace
Waive your hope 'cause no one's caring


Zhu Jiu, to the Envoy who enforces the Treaty
Sirenia - Fifth Column
Who are you
Who deceives your fatherland?
Deceives your cosanguine, your kin
And when your heartland burns
Where will you then turn?
Will you wash your bloody hands, at the end?


Chu Shuzhi, to the Envoy who freed him
Beast in Black - True Believer
Let the world think whatever the hell it wants
Let 'em plot their wicked ways
You're free from falsehood
And brave in the heart
And your spirit can't be tamed


Ye Zun, to his dear brother the greatest traitor of them all
Delain - Burning Bridges
Do you remember?
You and me against the world
Do you remember?
It seems like forever
We held on to each other like
we held on to life
Now why
Would you send me out to sea
On this battered ship alone?
If this is what it seems..


Shen Wei, to himself, on the eve of the end
Imagine Dragons - Battle Cry
Nobody can save me now
King is downed, it's do or die
Nobody can save me now
The only sound is the battle cry


Zhao Yunlan, to his dead lover
Sturgill Simpson - Sing Along
Compromise is made out of peace
But history is made out of violence
After the war of the worlds has ceased
All that's left is the deafening silence


Li Qian, to her dead mentor
Stratovarius - Shine in the Dark
I am what you made of me
Your blood is my blood, and your heart is my heart
We are what we leave behind





Bonus! Alternative tracks for the last four entries:
Ye Zun
Beast in Black - Crazy Mad Insane
You built a kingdom of hypocrisy
And then you dared to name it honesty


Shen Wei
The Dark Element - Last Good Day
Leave no regrets, you live but once
And this could be the last good day
Do you ever think and wonder
What you'll leave behind


Zhao Yunlan
Delain - We Had Everything
We had time
Reveling in the dawn of life
If only then we had known
Just how fast
It goes by


Li Qian
Battle Beast - I Wish
I wish you could see me now
I think you would be proud
You said one day I would understand
But I just want you to hold my hand

It makes me sad just reading the words.
