[ Intro: (Slow, reflective)]
The body burns, the heart turns restless,
A storm rises within—bitter, relentless.
Where is the cure? Who will restore?
Xie Xin Tang knocks—open the door.
[Verse 1: Flowing)
Fire churns deep, a silent invader,
In the gut, in the blood—no comfort, no savior.
Huang Lian steps forward, bitter but brave,
The taste stings sharp, the fire its slave.
Da Huang moves fast, no time for delay,
Pushing out toxins, clearing the way.
Zhi Zi cools with a touch like rain,
Heat dissolves, washing away the pain.
[Chorus (Call and Response)]
[(Call)]Who cuts the fire, brings back peace?
[(Response)]Xie Xin Tang, the flame will cease.
[(Call)] Who calms the blood, restores the flow?
[(Response)] Xie Xin Tang, now all will know.
[Verse 2: (Irregular rhyme and rhythmic shifts)]
Stubborn the heat, clinging like shadows,
Hidden in crevices, carving out hollows.
But the trio moves swift, precise like the wind,
Layer by layer, they cleanse from within.
The heart beats steady, the stomach breathes light,
Gone is the chaos that lingered at night.
It’s bitter, this medicine, a path that’s not sweet,
Yet through its sharpness, the cure is complete.
[Bridge: (Slow, introspective)]
Bitter the taste, but it carries a song,
Of fire subdued and balance prolonged.
A journey of heat, now quiet and calm,
The body restored, wrapped in its balm.
[Chorus (Call and Response): (Echoes with staggered rhymes)]
[(Call)]Who clears the way when the path is blocked?
[(Response)]Xie Xin Tang, the storm unlocked.
[(Call)] Who cools the fire, who brings the rain?
[(Response)] Xie Xin Tang, to ease the pain.
[Outro: (Soft, rhythmic)]
Fire is fleeting, yet it scars deep,
But Xie Xin Tang brings peace to keep.
Through bitter waters, the cure was found,
In its rhythm, the healer is crowned.
