Long thought lost to time—and government censorship—Tears of the Silent Dragon is the hauntingly beautiful score to the fourth and final film in the underground kung-fu saga that began with Fist of the Crimson Cloud. Composed in 1976 but never released due to “psychological side effects” reported during early screenings, the soundtrack blends ghostly female vocals, bamboo flute laments, and thunderous taiko heartbeats. This is the sound of vengeance unspoken, of love buried beneath the blade, of one dragon’s silent cry echoing through eternity. Restored from warped film reels and dusty reel-to-reel tapes, this marks the first time audiences can hear the forgotten breath of a martial arts masterpiece that dared to whisper.

Koi Beneath Still Waters

Wind Bell at Dusk (bonus track)

[Intro – sound of a Bunsen burner igniting, followed by a slow, distorted riff]
Say my name…
HEISENBEAST.

[Verse 1 – sludge riff, slow and menacing]
Chalkboard mind, cancer breath
Crayon lies, cooking death
Teacher twisted, apron red
Eyes like lab lights—cold and dead

Pinkman crumbles, Skyler screams
Walter’s kingdom built on screams
RV rides through desert waste
Cook the crystal, kill the taste

[Chorus – shouted like a cartel war cry]
BREAKING BAD!
Science bleeds and morals rot
BREAKING BAD!
God complex in a coffee pot
BREAKING BAD!
From family man to meth war king
BREAKING BAD!
Watch the empire shatter everything!

[Verse 2 – tempo speeds up, riffs razor sharp]
Tuco rages, Gus just stares
Mike’s got wisdom soaked in flares
Jane floats high, then fate says “no”
The barrel rolls, the bodies grow

Lies stack high like blue glass bricks
Todd just grins, that dead-eyed prick
Family first? No, power wins
This story ends where sin begins

[Bridge – chaotic breakdown, ambient sirens, gunshots in the background]
Boom.
Gus loses face… but never composure.
BOOM.
Hank reads the book. The end gets closer.

[Final Chorus – faster, heavier, unrelenting]
BREAKING BAD!
Truth dissolves in acid drums
BREAKING BAD!
Flushed away with teeth and thumbs
BREAKING BAD!
The king is dead, long live the lie
BREAKING BAD!
No heroes here—just alibis

[Outro – distorted bass fading out like a Geiger counter]
He broke bad…
and the world broke with him.

Say My Name, You're Goddamn Right

[Intro – spoken like a sermon, then screamed]
She married for love…
She married for power…
She married for ratings…
NOW SHE MARRIES DEATH.

[Verse 1 – blast beat fury]
Erica rises from satin sheets
Like a phoenix forged in Wall Street heat
Five-time bride, soul on lease
Whispers poison every time she speaks

Tears are currency, lies are law
Pine Valley’s ruled by what she saw
Cliff and Tad? Another grave
She’s the storm in your matinee

[Chorus – unholy harmonies, guttural screams]
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Doomed to the womb of deception
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Fed on guilt and resurrection
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Kissed by flames of daytime dread
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Every vow ends up dead

[Verse 2 – slower, doom-heavy riff]
Doctors schemin’, preachers cry
Babies swapped beneath the sky
Jack returns, but hearts decay
No soul survives that matriarch’s gaze

Brooks and Barnards bite the dust
Spines snap under love and lust
Soap suds thick with arsenic
Each plot twist makes the devil sick

[Bridge – dirge tempo, whispered vocals over funeral chords]
And on the seventh day… she slapped a nun
Buried a husband… then married her son
Faked a coma… framed a twin
Confessed to murder… with a devilish grin

[Final Chorus – full blast beat fury, double bass madness]
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Drenched in tears and gasoline
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Burn this set, crown the queen
ALL MY CHILDREN!
The script was written in blood
ALL MY CHILDREN!
Erica Kane shall rise above!

[Outro – piano fades in, then static… then one final scream]
“Cut to black—NO REDEMPTION.”

Penthouse of Pain

[Intro – whisper into scream]
Time spins… truth bends…
And Oakdale descends.
AS. THE. WORLD. BURNS.

[Verse 1 – dissonant riff spiral, rapid-fire growls]
Gravity crushed by Snyder guilt
Lucinda weeps in couture silk
Dust on Holden’s memory lane
Jack’s in cuffs, Carly’s to blame

Evil twins in courtroom haze
Tom and Margo lost in maze
Aliens beam in through the plot
Grandma’s alive?! (No she’s not.)

[Chorus – screamed like a supernova imploding]
AS THE WORLD TURNS!
It spins in lies and fire
AS THE WORLD TURNS!
Each day breeds one more liar
AS THE WORLD TURNS!
Devour the soap-stained earth
AS THE WORLD BURNS!
You’ll never know your worth

[Verse 2 – tempo shifts like a dream sequence, harmonics howl]
Wedding veils catch flame mid-vow
Lucinda’s ghost is laughing now
Dusty’s fists write the next arc
Lily's clone lights up the dark

Montage murder, silent screams
Teacups laced with toxic dreams
Bob’s been 60 for decades straight
Time’s a loop, and love is hate

[Bridge – instrumental chaos with soap opera organ solo]
(Whispers echo: “Luke...you’re not my son...you’re my clone...and my lawyer.”)
Breakdown hits like a satellite crash—
Polished teeth behind every slash

[Final Chorus – choir of growlers over blast beats]
AS THE WORLD TURNS!
Spin that wheel of doom
AS THE WORLD TURNS!
Truth’s just perfume
AS THE WORLD TURNS!
Daytime screams with no concern
AS THE WORLD BURNS!
And no one ever learns...

[Outro – whispered, slow decay]
This soap runs cold... but the spin… never stops.

As the World Burns

[Verse 1]
Drama never got deeper than in Dallas
How could they have been any bolder?
Did you watch who shot JR?
With the freeze frame ending at the alter

[Verse 2]
Was Bobby dead in the shower or just a dream?
Was his sister a cover girl or more obscene?
The wealth and power made it like a fantasy
They don't make 'em like that anymore

[Chorus]
Like a sweet dream
Waking up to see
It's not what it seems
Everything is okay

[Verse 3]
The oil companies
You know they never did mind
They're gonna get their money no matter how
The soap operas
You know they were just a disguise
They don't make 'em like that anymore

[Chorus]
Like a sweet dream
Waking up to see
It's not what it seems
Everything is okay

[Bridge]
Everything is okay
Everything is okay

My Sweet Dream

[Verse]
Monica and Alan in the
Quartermaine den
Alan's little plan for the
Final revenge
And when the time comes
Will Monica win
There's no doubt in her mind

[Chorus]
Welcome to the happenings
At General Hospital
Another day of
Miracles and obstacles
And oh my God
Just wait for the chronicles
Of all the drama
And pain and the trauma
That came from General Hospital

[Verse]
Helena wants revenge for
The death of her husband
And if you can't see the baby
Then she wins
And when it happens
You won't see it comin'
There's no doubt in her mind

[Chorus]
Welcome to the happenings
At General Hospital
Another day of
Miracles and obstacles
And oh my God
Just wait for the chronicles
Of all the drama
And pain and the trauma
That came from General Hospital

[Verse]
Another day in Port Charles
And as the world turns
Carly's got a new man
When will she learn
It's hard to believe all the
Stuff that occurs
There's no doubt in her mind

[Chorus]
Welcome to the happenings
At General Hospital
Another day of
Miracles and obstacles
And oh my God
Just wait for the chronicles
Of all the drama
And pain and the trauma
That came from General Hospital

Hospital Happenings

[Verse 1]
Oh the things you say when the clock strikes twelve
And you're watchin' Days of our Lives
So you go on in about a man named Jim
And his wife who supposedly died
Then you grab a drink and tell me everything
And the tears well up in your eyes
Like you never seen such a tragedy
As the time that Marlena died

[Chorus]
And I say "dear
Don't be so foolish
Those soap operas are lies
That is just a daytime dream"

[Verse 2]
So you take a breath and tell me what is next
As your sister comes to the door
And I hear her say "have you heard the news today?
Susan's come back from the dead"
And it sounds so strange but you don't have to explain
I already know what you mean
It's the same old thing
Some things never change
And it's only a quarter to three

[Chorus]
And I say "dear
Don't be so foolish
Those soap operas are lies
That is just a daytime dream"

[Verse 3]
As you both sit there in your chairs
And start talkin' bout the weather
My mind wanders off to some far away land
And I fall into a slumber
And I see such beautiful things
And you start talkin' to me
You ask me if I had a good dream
I say "dear
It was a wonderful thing
I was with you"

[Chorus]
And I say "dear
Don't be so foolish
Those soap operas are lies
That is just a daytime dream"
And I say "dear
Don't be so foolish
Those soap operas are lies
That is just a daytime dream"

Daydream Believer

[Intro – growled]
YEEEAAAHHHH
Blood in the boardroom!
Fire in the foyer!
Colby cash rains down like acid on your pearls!

[Verse 1]
Crack the mirror, crystal’s gone!
Smoke rolls thick through Denver dawn
Power suits, backstabs, brandy spills
And Alexis draws first blood with heels

Claws are lacquered, teeth are bare
Fake smiles hide a stock affair
Oil empires soaked in spite
Who inherits hell tonight?!

[Chorus – screamed]
DYNASTY!
Glamour turned to rot
DYNASTY!
Plotlines stitched with gunshots
DYNASTY!
Back from the grave with a facelift
DYNASTY!
Caviar vengeance, baby taste it!

[Verse 2]
Jeff and Fallon, poison kiss
Blake’s got rage like a bottomless pit
Secrets whispered in silk-lined halls
Echo loud as crystal falls

Boardroom warzones, champagne sin
Every smile hides a knife within
Diamonds crack, mascara bleeds
Justice served in shoulder-padded deeds!

[Bridge – breakdown growl]
(tremolo picking from hell)
Lexxxxis…
Scheming like a cobra in couture
Krystle…
Cracked like glass behind the lure
Dynasties DIE when queens go to war
Catfight on the stairs—HEAR THE ROAR!

[Final Chorus – all-out carnage]
DYNASTY!
Fashion drowned in fury
DYNASTY!
Mansions bathed in purgatory
DYNASTY!
No peace in primetime
DYNASTY!
Death wears designer when it's killin’ time

[Outro – whispered with echo and distortion]
Long live the queen…
Even if she’s buried in Chanel No. 5…

Shoulder Pads and Vengeance

[Verse 1 – rapid-fire vocals like machine gun therapy]
Stained glass lies!
Church bells toll for the Spauldings’ cries
Faith don’t save, love don’t last
And Reva’s back from the DEAD—again—fast

Cross and dagger, veil and flame
Beth’s in chains but claims no shame
Harley’s gone, Josh can’t cope
Phillip’s brain’s just pure gun smoke

[Chorus – chant meets growl]
GUIDING LIGHT!
Dragged through dirt in wedding white
GUIDING LIGHT!
Holy vows ignite the night
GUIDING LIGHT!
Built on prayer and petty fights
GUIDING LIGHT!
Where sinners shine the brightest light

[Verse 2 – sludge tempo, drums like thunder in a crypt]
Nuns with secrets, priests with guns
Backroom deals while the church bell runs
Cassie weeps on stained floor tiles
Blood of rivals in her aisles

Psych wards filled with broken pasts
Time skips forward, none shall last
Stories twisted, truths denied
Half the cast has already died

[Bridge – death march over pipe organ]
Reva was a ghost, then a clone, then a queen
Alan built an empire on a methadone dream
They baptized pain in a velvet casket
Lit the match—then dropped the basket

[Final Chorus – tempo doubles, choir of the damned]
GUIDING LIGHT!
Saints fall in prime time sin
GUIDING LIGHT!
Confess your crimes or just begin
GUIDING LIGHT!
Forgiveness sold for Nielsen scores
GUIDING LIGHT!
We praise the chaos… never yours

[Outro – distortion fades, one whispered line]
The light is out… and Springfield’s gone cold…

The Light Went Out in Springfield (bonus track)

[Verse]
It was an average Friday night at the bar
Then in walked a girl from another world
We got to talkin' 'bout them eighties shows
She said that one about the Carringtons
I said
"You mean 'Dallas'?"
She said
"No"

[Chorus]
Dynasty
Not Dallas
How can you say Dynasty's better than Dallas?
One's a Mercedes
One's a Cadillac
There ain't no comparison
J. R.'s a better villain
You can't beat a hat and a Stetson
And Larry Hagman's still the man
Dynasty
Not Dallas
How can you say Dynasty's better than Dallas?
She said
"You must be out of your mind"
And I said
"No"
She said
"Well
Bless your heart"
And I said
"Whoa"

[Verse]
I said
"Them Ewing boys know how to throw a party"
She said
"I'm partial to the Carrington girls"
She said
"Joan Collins
" and I said
"Linda Gray"
She said
"Look at their ratings
" I said
"Look at mine"

[Chorus]
Dynasty
Not Dallas
How can you say Dynasty's better than Dallas?
One's a Mercedes
One's a Cadillac
There ain't no comparison
J. R.'s a better villain
You can't beat a hat and a Stetson
And Larry Hagman's still the man
Dynasty
Not Dallas
How can you say Dynasty's better than Dallas?
She said
"You must be out of your mind"
And I said
"No"
She said
"Well
Bless your heart"
And I said
"Whoa"

[Bridge]
We kept goin' back and forth
Drinkin' more and more
Next thing I know
We went out the door

[Chorus]
Dynasty
Not Dallas
How can you say Dynasty's better than Dallas?
One's a Mercedes
One's a Cadillac
There ain't no comparison
J. R.'s a better villain
You can't beat a hat and a Stetson
And Larry Hagman's still the man
Dynasty
Not Dallas
How can you say Dynasty's better than Dallas?
She said
"You must be out of your mind"
And I said
"No"
She said
