My parents cast me out in shame The Soothsayer's prophecy is who's to blame [Lord Shen] Now I'm left without a choice Erase every doubt All of China's gonna bow before my cannons now I need to watch them break I want to see them bow But before they do, I'll teach this whole land how Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves) Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves Ourselves [Lord Shen] You are a joke of a warrior Clinging fast to your peace A panda who babbles about harmony That's what I hate! While you fight for your balance I have built an iron throne I could have ruled over Gongmen in quiet If they had left me alone But no! [Lord Shen] They were weak and blind Mercy has a price Watch the embers glow before I light the fuse now My parents looked away When I forged my own will Now I have no fragile mercy left to feel 'Cause... Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves) Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves Ourselves [Lord Shen] The Year of the Peacock is here I'll watch them fall I'll conquer all Unless, of course, the panda kneels And ends it all Before my fleet [Lord Shen] A warrior of black and white will be my undoing— I manufacture fate, I burned the scroll! Kill the past, the fire's growing!— [Wolf Army] Ruthlessness is mercy [Lord Shen] FIRE!

[Lord Shen] They took everything from me So now I take it all A peacock's vengeance answers when I call The fire, the steel, the cannon in my hand— I am the future, and the past will burn as planned! [Lord Shen] When does an exiled prince become the storm they fear? I am the darkness that the prophecy made clear Any last words, panda? [Lord Shen] You think your inner peace can stop my reign? ...Then let us see who truly feels no pain. Remember me. ―― “The fire, the steel, the cannon in my hand— / I am the future, and the past will burn as planned!” #LordShen #KungFuPanda2 #Ruthlessness #EpicTheMusical #ConceptCover #AIConceptSong #AIMusic #DreamWorks #KungFuPanda
