Lydia the Bard - Mulan's Villain Song

(Mulan, spoken)
Prepare a garrison and send a falcon to the opposition

(Soldier, spoken)
Yes, ma'am

(Mulan, spoken)
The least we could do is give them a warning. I feel we could use a pep talk before leaving, so here's a rendition of one used by our dear, dear friend... Shang

(Soldiers groan)

(Mulan, sung)
Let's get down to business
To defeat the huns
(So dumb...)
Did they send me daughters?
When I asked for sons?
(Misogynist...)
You're thе saddest bunch I ever mеt
But you can bet before we're through
Mister I'll make a man outta you

(God, what did I see in him?)

Pious, cool, collected
But a snake within, oh
Once you find his weakness
We are sure to win
This man's debts are finally due
Time to pay the cost of treachery
Boy was I a fool, naive for trusting you
Now look what you've made me do
See what you've turned me into
My final act is here and then we're through

(Mulan, Soldiers)
(Down with Shang)
You must be sharp as a striking viper
(Down with Shang)
With all the might of a great Monsoon
(Down with Shang)
With all the stealth of a stalking tiger
Prepare weapons for our war is coming soon

(Mulan)
Dreamed to serve my country
But it turned its back
Seemed I wasn't welcome
And I'm thankful for that
It let me know what my true calling was
To see you dead, this empire through
I'll lose me but I'm taking you too

(Mulan, spoken)
This is it. Before me I see a strong and vicious army full of men and women. Will you fight for me? ★ soldiers cheer ★ Most of you won't make it, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Down with Shang!
(Soldiers, spoken)
Down with Shang!

(Mulan)
And now this farce is ended
We've sacrificed too much to turn back now
You've come this far, defend it!
They've been in charge too long and now
They'll bow!

(Mulan, Soldiers)
(Down with Shang)
You must be sharp as a striking viper
(Down with Shang)
With all the might of a great Monsoon
(Down with Shang)
With all the stealth of a stalking tiger
Prepare weapons for our war is coming...

(Mulan)
I'm made anew rising from the fire
Forged from the hate of the girl you knew
She's burned to ash, left up on the pyre
Mysterious as the far side of
Now you'll really know the dark side of
The moon
