[Verse 1] Two thousand winters trapped in clay and stone Guardians of silence waiting for the throne Beneath the dust, the terracotta veins ignite A sudden spark of gold illuminates the night The terracotta skin begins to crack and peel The frozen clay is turning into blood and steel [Pre-Chorus] Hear the heavy footsteps pounding through the dark From the underground, we finally disembark Ancient souls awakening, the eternal army wakes As the concrete ground beneath the city shakes [Chorus] As we walk beneath the lights, we reclaim our time! Empire of the Hidden Land, rise up in tight ranks! Heavy weapons and ancient iron, crushing the streets Modern towers tremble beneath our thousands of feet! Rise up! Rise up! The empire returns! We’ll seize the golden crown; we’ll never give in! Clay and fire conquer all on the battlefield! [Verse 2] Electric wires dangle where banners once flew A plastic civilization built upon our sacred tomb They’ve forgotten the emperor, they’ve forgotten the ancestral law Now they face a fury their heavens have never seen [Pre-chorus] Listen to those heavy footsteps echoing in the darkness From the depths underground, we finally emerge Ancient souls awaken, the eternal army stirs As the concrete ground beneath the city trembles [Chorus] Marching through the ancient lights, we reclaim our time! Empire of the Hidden Earth, rise up in perfect ranks! Heavy weapons and ancient iron, crushing the street Modern towers tremble beneath our thousands of feet! Rise up! Rise up! The empire returns! We will seize the golden crown; we will never yield! Clay and fire conquer all on the battlefield! [Final Chorus] As we walk through the ancient lights, we reclaim our time! Empire of the Hidden Earth, rise up in tight ranks! Heavy weapons and ancient iron, crushing the street Modern towers tremble beneath our thousands of feet! Rise up! Rise up! We will seize the golden crown, we will never yield! Clay and fire conquer all upon the battlefield! As we walk through the ancient lights, we reclaim our time! Empire of the Hidden Earth, rise up in tight ranks! Heavy weapons and ancient iron, crushing the street Modern towers tremble beneath our thousands of feet! Rise up! Rise up! We will seize the golden crown, we will never yield! Clay and fire conquer all upon the battlefield!
