DaJi the posessed
--------------------------------------------------------
Heart of chaos in my breast
Burn all evils and repress all ill
Under the jade eyes of heaven and the seven star princesses
Let this heart of chaos be changed and blessed
Heart of chaos heard my cry
Stole my body
Loved ones died
So i beg of thee
Help me be free
Jade emperor
And star princesses
Bless this heart and repress all ill
Under the eyes of heaven
I take this pill deadly poison
to end this suffering
while I still possess my will
