Terracotta Army

The king:

"immortal, i will live forever
Death will not defeat me!
No mercy, any sacrifices,
The gods will find a way.
Forever, i will rule forever
Always to be feared.
Eternal, there will be no question
A life without decline".

Two thousand years
We stand
Two thousand years

The army:

"in danger, in times of danger,
We will live for your protection.
In peril, we will fight for freedom,
We will rise as one and vanquish all invaders.
Unchallenged, we remain unconquered
Captured in a timeless state.
Unseeing, hibernation waiting
We will always be on our guard".

Two thousand years
We stand
Two thousand years

The king:

"in worship, you will serve me proudly,
In silence and vocation.
In terror, i will hold the power,
There will never be an end to my existence.
My empire, i will build a city,
Seven hundred thousand labourers and scholars.
Devotion, intimidation,
I will justify the blood that i have spilt".

Two thousand years
We stand
Two thousand years

The prayer:

Bring me a soul
Bring me the chance to walk the earth
Bring me the blood of life
Let it flow in my veins - let it flow.
Maybe once i lived before
Let me live again
Let me breathe again".

The army:

"no meaning, there can be no feeling
Frozen for all time.
Existing, in our own dimension,
We will live beyond the king that did create us.
Immortal, we will live forever
Death will not defeat us!
Eternal, there will be no question
A life without decline".

Two thousand years
We stand
Two thousand years
