When Silla tilted, its finances in ruin, she's chosen as king to succeed,
The roots of the country's crisis ran deep, conflicts're lasted indeed.
Day and night, for reforming the royal court, she's striving to rebuild,
And tirelessly efforts, she try to pour in to ensure the people's welfare instilled.
She drew on the counsel of Ui-Hong, made the power-families be restrained,
And embracing talented individuals through open gates, potential unrestrained,
But met with resistance, she's confined in North Palace sadly fallen to disuse,
And her merits and legacy was vanished but left a label of unjust abuse.
