[Intro – Choir / Orchestra] Aurea... Gloria... Inti... Ave aurora... [Verse 1] Above the Andes, calm and high A golden aura fills the sky On silent stone, on sacred air The light of ages lingers there O solar empire, wide and bright You rise in fire, you live in light Through every stair, through every flame The dawn still sings your holy name [Pre-Chorus] Hear the mountains calling Hear the morning cry From the heart of ages You arise, you rise [Chorus] Rise, rise, O crown of Inti, rise! Aurea flame across the skies! High, high, over stone we soar— Sun of the Andes, evermore! Shine, shine, O sacred heart of gold! Live in light that never grows old! Fire and sky, dream and desire— Rise, eternal fire! [Verse 2] No, not in sorrow, not in rain No, not in silence, not in pain But in the aura of the sun Your living song is never done In feathered wind, in amber light In walls that glow at fall of night The soul of Inti softly stays Alive in all the golden rays [Pre-Chorus] Hear the condors crying Hear the heavens ring Over ancient summits Still your empires sing [Chorus] Rise, rise, O crown of Inti, rise! Aurea flame across the skies! High, high, over stone we soar— Sun of the Andes, evermore! Shine, shine, O sacred heart of gold! Live in light that never grows old! Fire and sky, dream and desire— Rise, eternal fire! [Bridge – Classical / Choir] Gloria solis Ave, ave lux In aeterna aura Your name returns O viva memoria O anima d’oro Over the silence The sun still burns [Guitar Solo] [Long melodic neoclassical guitar solo over choir and orchestra] [Final Chorus] Rise, rise, O crown of Inti, rise! Aurea flame across the skies! High, high, over stone we soar— Sun of the Andes, evermore! Shine, shine, O sacred heart of gold! Live in light that never grows old! Fire and sky, dream and desire— Rise, eternal fire! [Outro – Soprano / Choir] Aurea... Inti... Ave aurora... In the light You rise...
