Hymn to the Fallen 国殇 | Warrior Anthology | War Song | East Asian Classics in Metal Music

Lyric: The Old King Inspiration from a poem the work of Kut Ngywan (allegedly 340 BC – 278 BC) Kut Ngywan (屈原) was a poet and aristocrat of S’rah. He is known for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry and verses, especially through the poems of the Chu Ci (楚辞, S’rah’s Anthology), a volume of poems attributed to or considered to be inspired by his verse writing. However, some modern analyses question his historicality or at least his portrayal. Critics argue that: His story might have been embellished or constructed to fit a narrative of loyalty and patriotism, useful for cultural or political reasons in subsequent Empires. The specifics of his life, including his poetic works, might be composites or attributions rather than the work of a single individual. This perspective sees him more as a cultural symbol or a semi-mythical figure embodying certain ideals rather than a verifiable historical person in the modern sense.
