The Journey Begins | A Journey to the West Song | Elara

This is an original Journey to the West song from Elara’s Monkey King cycle, Equal to Heaven, telling the myth through companionship and restraint rather than spectacle. The Journey Begins opens at the moment Wukong steps onto the road not as conqueror, but as companion. The rebellion is behind him. The heavens are quiet. What remains is dust, distance, and the uneasy presence of those who now walk beside him. Pigsy and Sandy are not yet legends here. One carries hunger. One carries endurance. Neither is redeemed. Neither is complete. The myth does not begin with glory. It begins with weight. Written from Wukong’s perspective, this track marks the widening of the road. For the first time, he does not outrun consequence. He matches his breath to others. He walks. In the arc of the Monkey King cycle, this is the threshold song. The solitary force becomes part of a procession. Power yields to direction. The journey west begins not with triumph, but with quiet inevitability. This track is part of an ongoing mythic music project reimagining Journey to the West through character-driven storytelling, poetic lyricism, and cinematic restraint. LYRICS I thought the road would narrow Until only I remained Stone sheds companions easily Or so I had been trained One walks with hunger in his shadow Laughing to hide the ache Hands always reaching for more than bread Afraid of what hunger wakes Another carries silence like a debt Each step an answered sin He does not ask where the road goes Only where to stand within These are not mirrors They do not shine They walk beside me Out of time They do not know my former names Or care how high I flew They know the sound of tired feet And waking to what’s due No banners follow where we go No songs announce our pace Only dust learning our outlines Only miles learning our faces What is a journey If no one falters What is a road If no one waits These are not equals Not followers yet They are the weight I did not expect One eats to forget One kneels to endure Neither asks forgiveness Neither is pure And I Who once outran consequence Now match my breath to theirs Learning the shape of walking Learning the cost of care The road does not shorten It does not explain But it widens quietly Enough for our names And for the first time I do not lead I walk And they remain =⛰️= 🎧 Playlist - Equal to Heaven:    • Equal to Heaven   🔔 Subscribe:    / @elaralinden   #Wukong #MonkeyKing #JourneyToTheWest #MythicMusic #FantasyMusic #FantasySong
