Wu Sung Slayed the Tiger

Wu Sung slayed the tiger
Wu Sung slayed the tiger
On a mystic hill
The tiger found its kill
It roared a primal cry
Then sprang into the sky

Wu Sung slayed the tiger
Wu Sung slayed the tiger

With a spinning kick
He snapped it like a stick
With a mighty hand
He slammed it to the sand

Wu Sung slayed the tiger
Wu Sung slayed the tiger
They battled head to head
The ground turned bloody red
He choked the beast out of breath
And crushed its skull to death

For too many years we've lived in fear
That tiger killed men like deer
The future of our ancient lands
Was saved by your brave hands
The reward for your heroic travails
Is fifty silver taels
On behalf of the people of Chingho
We would all like to thank you so
Wu Sung Slayed the Tiger
Wu Sung is our hero
Wu Sung Slayed the Tiger
Wu Sung is our hero

Heaven has blessed all of Chingho
It has sent us our champion
At a time when hope was very lost
And peace is so hard
The Hun invasion of our lands
Has spread fear through the kingdom
We the people all need you to be
Our Captain of the Guard

Wu Sung's Captain of the Guard
Wu Sung's Captain of the Guard
Wu Sung's Captain of the Guard
Wu Sung's Captain of the Guard
