[Verse 1] On the lake, you stood so tall Stone by stone, you built it all Eagle wings above the sky Flower smoke and battle cry Gold on the woven thread Corn and fire, where you fed Temple steps in morning light Power born from sweat and rite [Pre-Chorus] Hear the drums in the ground Hear the names all around From the water, from the clay Your great сердце still stays [Chorus] Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, through the rain Beautiful empire, brave and bright Burning gold in the sacred night Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, live again [Verse 2] Obsidian gleam in the hand Trade and art across the land Chinampa lines on the lake Green life growing every day Mothers sang to the flame Fathers called out your name You were more than wall and throne You were a world you made your own [Pre-Chorus] Hear the drums in the ground Hear the names all around From the water, from the clay Your great heart still stays [Chorus] Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, through the rain Beautiful empire, brave and bright Burning gold in the sacred night Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, live again [Bridge] Even when the ages turn Your red sunrise still will burn In the stones and in the seed In the hands that carry need We remember, we remember Every step, every ember [Final Chorus] Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, through the rain Beautiful empire, brave and bright Burning gold in the sacred night Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, live again Tenochtitlan, rise again Tenochtitlan, live again
