Lyrics
Head between your knees
Can’t you hear the call
Can’t you hear it screaming for relief
Waiting for the chance
There’s a hidden strength
To set free
When you feel it
It’s surreal, it’s
No surprise we rise
The earth shakes, the sky shivers
The stars fall out of alignment
We are the sinners
The new stars standing defiant
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Hanging off the edge
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for somebody to defend
Don’t you wait too long
There’s a map inside of your head
When you feel it
It’s surreal, it’s
No surprise we rise
The earth shakes, the sky shivers
The stars fall out of alignment
We are the sinners
The new stars standing defiant
They won’t bring us down
They can’t shake us now
They are running from this war
We’re raging like the perfect storm
They won’t bring us down
They can’t shake us now
They are running from defeat
We’ll see them all upon their knees
The earth shakes, the sky shivers
The stars fall out of alignment
We are the sinners
The new stars standing defiant
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh
Since it seems like it's harder to find the lyrics online. You can find them in the Lyric Info for the song on Extreme Music. 😅
Notes: Yes, got Extreme Music to make their updates. 😊 So lyrics are 100% correct now. There's also a bunch of extra Oh's they didn't write down and no echoes jotted down either.
Further Notes
The only other time they used a lyrical song was for Season 3's Recap video: Make This End. 3 seasons later, we're here. As someone said in the yt comments, you know the season's gonna be fire if they're using a song here too. 🔥
Like usual, the song is available on Extreme Music and other distributing platforms such as Spotify. "Standing Defiant" was composed by Devin Hoffman, Figero Scripp, and Lily Marly as the singer.
It was also released in February 5, 2024. 😳 Meaning the trailer finished sometime between then and June 3 when it was first uploaded on the S6 Trailer playlist. Not gonna go into that story of how we discovered that title leak. 😂
👀 me looking at that word "Struggle" right there 😨
I'm comin' after Netflix if they purposely searched for this song with the word "struggle" 👿🗡️👿👿🗡️👿🗡️
Edit: I just texted Villads since I already knew he made the edits for many trailers. He also chose the music for this as well.
And error: looking at the subtitles for the Netflix-issued trailer. Netflix is incorrect for "The Sun shivers." It's clearly "Sky". I mean seriously, nobody's gonna have the money or time to get the singers to customize a song just to fit the scene. 😂 They just buy the song off the music producer's platform.
🎵The Dragon Prince Season 6 Teaser 2 Soundtrack: GARGANTUAN!!🎶
Streaming on Spotify and Youtube!! Teaser below for comparison!
Check out the first teaser's soundtrack, Aerial View!
Notes
For licensing, please purchase the music at Extreme Music.
Strangely enough, this is the first soundtrack available from the B Fingers bros. Wonderstorm/Netflix has used Extreme Music by them before but most of them were not available for streaming. Most likely, the case was because Adam Lukas is from Bleeding Fingers (Music) and Extreme Music was just their distribution platform for licensing purposes.
Not sure these associated keywords were actually used to find this music lol 🎧🎵 but whether they did or not, gives you an idea of what's to fear and what's to come 🎶

Appreciate any reshares on this or spreading the news. I updated this on TDP Wiki already. (Yes, that was me lol idk why nobody else wants to jump on it, must be too distracted from the content 🤔)
Congrats to TDP Season 6 teaser reaching one million views today! Conveniently found the soundtrack same time as well!!
Ahhh!!! Had been looking for the soundtrack for a few months and finally found it!! 😭😭😭 This was one of the hardest soundtracks to find. The other one is Season 4's series trailer soundtrack, which I'm still searching for.
🎵 Anyways, here's the soundtrack — not available on streaming platforms unfortunately — and the trailer down below if you want to compare. 🎶
Dreamy and mysterious sound design track with growing ambient pad effects. Full version
Notes
The soundtrack was made by Pennybank Tunes! They do not upload to streaming platforms so it's difficult for the various software I've been using to search for it. I've mostly finished up finding all the music used in @dragonprinceofficial's trailers, teasers, and other promo videos. Perhaps, I'll be able to get that list out soon if I can find the last song needed. 😢
Usually, soundtracks we get from them are more alive, fast, and hyper. 🔥 This is definitely one of the slowest tracks TDP has added to their collection and the music gets a little funky/scratchy? later on so it might not be fitting to your style. It's also pretty old, released in 2014. (⊙ˍ⊙) They most likely found it with all the keywords in the tags, especially our totally favorite word: "mYstERioUs" but strangely, it's also in the "ocean" category with "documentary" in the distributors' stores. 💙 But seriously, finding the s6 trailer music better not be as hard as this one. 🩵

🙈 Need Mandarin translations/confirmations for the messages the lmk creators left ASAP 🙈
Long story short, we tried to spread the animation studio switch letter Sarah posted. I speedran to Xiaohongshu (LittleRedBook/RedBook/RED); Instagram equal for China cause thought no one else would do it. This was before we found out the rest of the crew would send their regards as well.
Idk Mandarin at all so would appreciate any help. Literally just dumped everything into Google Translate.
Priority is everything in the 1st image. 2nd pic is just explanations I wrote for them in case they don't know, which idk how much they know about Flying Bark besides the fact that they thought their animation was awesome. Sometimes they share the storyboards on Bilibili/Weibo but that's about it.
Put them as images cause I was gonna post on Twitter, but coming here first, which also might be better instead.
The RedBook Post
Might need to go through some verification check, basically sliding things across the screen. No sign in should be required to view, though it could vary between countries.
If I don't get any sort of translation confirmations, I'm gonna have to update the post anyways. Right now, it's also full of ugly edits cause first time ever posting and I actually ran off to make this like the minute we were asked to do so in mk central discord. Gonna make it look nicer now that I realize it's gained traction. >_>
There's a lot of upset/angry/sad/mad fans on RedBook, Douyin, and Bilibili. Much like how we had the wildfire and death threats on Twitter except I think not as extreme to the point of sending death threats... thankfully. They didn't know about the studio change. Honestly, just trying to give them facts and reminding them they have part of the power to get the show cancelled or not; but also not telling them what to like or not like/stop grieving/etc.
Literally one of the RedBook comments on the S5 trailer LEGO China uploaded contains the picture from my post (cause I added disclaimer that it's not lego official translated). So I definitely would like to have the other translations down if they're just sharing around pictures like that. 😬 And note that they're all sharing the Mandarin ones; not the English even though I did provide them. I don't have Douyin and I dunno if I can upload on Bilibili. Weibo has been covered. Idk if there's other Chinese soc med I'm missing.
Notes for translation
Exact Mandarin/English text used in the ALTs of the pictures and "Keep Reading" section cause I realize ALT can’t copy and paste if needed
Uh please write down exactly what phrase to change, cause I do not understand any of the characters except the show title heh
1000 character limit for post, including tags and characters
Tags used: #lego乐高 #lego #悟空小侠 #乐高中国 #乐高悟空小侠 #乐高悟空小侠5年庆 #第五季 #齐小天 #孫悟空 @LEGO乐高 #乐高 If there's more that's helpful, please let me know lol been riding on these tags. If I can, I'll put English hashtags, but depends on character limit; Chinese is a priority
20 character limit for title, which I've chosen: 悟空小侠电视剧的未来🐒导演和编剧的笔记 (basically "future of LMK, directors & writers' statements/notes")
Crew member names and titles were written in the Mandarin dub credits, shown in 2nd pic. Not changing those in translations.
"Harbinger of Chaos" doesn't exist in the Mandarin version... I think? based on the s4 e7 subtitles we had way long ago. Changed Breen's tweet so it said to "find out more about MK." I guess I could've put "demon monkeys" but left that out in case they actually don't address it in the season. And idk the mandarin phrase they used for that
WildBrain Studios doesn't have a proper mandarin translation according to all the Mandarin dubbed Ninjago episodes so just kept it English
Idk if I forgot something, been having hard time keeping track of stuff oop I'll add more if there is more
Please note that I did use a translator (and friends) to write this article. I'm a western fan but I have access to the app. And please spread the word too. I don’t have much contact with Chinese social media.
请注意,我确实使用了翻译来写这篇文章。 [Could swap to saying friends instead of translator.] 我是西方粉丝,但我可以访问应用程序。也请广而告之。 我与中国社交媒体没有太多联系。
Former series directors and writers from Flying Bark Productions, as well as current writers, have all issued statements regarding the handling of the series.
Sarah Harper served as series director from S1 -3 before fully becoming a writer for several episodes in S4. Some of her series credits include "The Jade Emperor" and "Rip and Tear."
Christian Barkel served as animation director for the first three seasons and was promoted to series director in the fourth season.
克里斯蒂安·巴克尔(Christian Barkel)在前三季担任动画导演,第四季晋升为系列导演。
David Breen is currently a writer on the show's fifth season.
He served as script supervisor for S1-3 before being promoted as one of the show's writers. Some of the episodes he has written are "The Brotherhood" and “A Lifetime of Mistakes."
Deirdre Devlin is also a writer on season five. She was brought on as a writer in the fourth season. Her three episodes are "The Great Tang Man", "Court of the Yellow Robed Demon", and "Pitiful Creatures".
Flying Bark Productions has withdrawn from the animation production of "Monkie Kid". Since 2020, they have been continuously invited to participate in new projects, such as "Disney's" "Moon Girl and the Demon Dinosaur" and "Avatar Studio"'s upcoming "Avatar" film in 2026.
From now on, WildBrain Studios will animate the series. They were also responsible for the Ninjago TV series, although that was in 3D rather than a 2D TV series like Monkie Kid. The writers and voice actors remain the same, but new people could join the team.
从现在开始,WildBrain Studios 将制作该系列动画。 他们还负责《幻影忍者》电视剧,尽管该剧是 3D 的,而不是像《悟空小侠》那样的 2D 电视连续剧。 编剧和配音演员保持不变,但可能会有新人加入团队。
Some artists work as freelancers for the team. I don't know how WildBrain Studios' 2D department hires their artists. If they were invited back to the show, some of their work might be similar to their work from previous seasons. But that consistency may not hold true under new directors. We'll have to wait until the end of the season to see the TV show's credits.
Previous seasons used "frame-by-frame" animation, all drawn by hand. Based on the trailer, the new season appears to include
the use of "rig animation," which is the use of technology to move characters and objects.
All of these changes will impact Season 5 and beyond. I don't know how fan support affects entertainment distribution in China, but over here, if a show doesn't get enough views upon release, it may be abandoned by the distributor and have a hard time continuing.
We will give as much support as possible in the West, although the success of the Monkie Kid LEGO sets and TV show has always and will always depend on its performance in China.
Change can be difficult, and it's okay if you feel disappointed or upset. While waiting over the past year, we’ve been teased by the writers and voice actors that this story will be emotional and heartbreaking, and we trust the writers who have carried the story of Monkie Kid, so I hope you will consider watching season 5.
lmk style for @nanolitore Monkiddo Art Contest #MonkiddoGRAM
Had school and finals right now so didn't really expect to finish it.
Probably could've just stuck with Pigsy, MK, and the other monkeys since missed out on celebrating their release. But decided to bring in the whole Monkie Kid crew lol 🙈
Some dialogue planned before/created just now…
*MK fidgeting*
Pigsy: Don't worry, son. It'll be fine.
*Macaque struggling*
Mei: *pinches his ear* Hold still!
Wukong: You gotta tie it just like this-
Ne Zha: WUKONG STOP BOTHERING HIM
*Red Son and Tang going through the list*
Tang: That's it for him. Double check…
*Sandy looking at stage plans*
Mo: mrrow!
*Gold and Silver Demons lifting the sign*
Demon Accountant: Pull harder!
No previous experience drawing lmk style so that was interesting. Definitely would like to finish it someday cause I need the practice for some other lmk art in future. Started out as sketches and line art but then just continued in sketches yesterday for rest of the lmk characters and tossed in the color roughs.
🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒
Sandy wasn't gonna be in it originally cause idk how to draw him but had an empty space and looked weird without him so drew in Mo and his head at 4 am. >_> Horned demons weren't gonna be in it too which kinda shows here but they were easier to draw than Sandy. Idk about Princess Iron Fan or DBK but that would definitely be a next time thing. Maybe Bai He too in Nano's crew outfit lol
🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒
I would need a bigger canvas than 1920 x 1080 for all of that. Stage is wood but color was just taken from Benched ref so looks kinda weird imo. I don't think making the stage floor black would've been a better choice though. There were gonna be more boxes, stage equipment, someone pushing the stage racks, running around- papers flying, just sweet chaos.
I'm not a theatre person though just fyi.
🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒
Anyways, had lots of fun with this and glad I could say that I participated lol 🐵
