The wind blows in
The voice that once filled the empty palace
Now only an echo remains

Deep night in Gyeongbokgung, sitting before a single candle
Even on the throne, the seat beside me is empty
Only now do I understand King Danjong's sorrow
It's not the crown that's heavy, it's my heart
A heart even the Royal Secretariat's diary cannot record
Call the royal physician — this sickness has no cure
Only the court ladies' footsteps echo down the halls
And in those footsteps I keep searching for yours

Your Majesty, let me go
The moonlight is growing cold
Your Majesty, let me go
The throne is freezing over

Sitting alone on the frozen throne
Father of ten thousand people, child of one woman
Snow falls and covers all, but your seat never melts
I could rule a thousand years and still never hold your hand

You left like Queen Hyeondeok, without a word
Even Sejong lost his daughter-in-law and hid inside letters
I don't even have letters, only sound remains
Swallowing tears over the banquet at Taepyeonggwan
Even poison by royal decree cannot kill this pain
The han of deposed Queen Yun lives again inside me
The royal shrine music plays, but I hear only your voice
I burn incense in the funerary hall, calling you every night

I should never have become king
I should have been born a nobleman's son
I should have walked beneath Gwangtong Bridge holding your hand
I should have called your name in the season of lotus blooms
Flowers bloom even on the road to the afterlife
Your Majesty, do not weep

Sitting alone on the frozen throne
Father of ten thousand people, child of one woman
Snow falls and covers all, but your seat never melts
I could rule a thousand years and still never hold your hand

The wind blows in
Your Majesty
Let me go
