[Verse 1]
Two thousand years in time, the first one of his kind
He dreams and plans of immortality
A dynasty of jade, an empire he has made
All the land beneath the setting sun

[Chorus]
You wake once more to rise again
Guardians of the tomb
You live once more to fight again
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb

[Verse 2]
His tomb will lay beneath the ground
Forces will be gathered 'round
To fight his battles far beyond the grave
The mighty army made of clay, sleeps in death to rise again
Hidden just below the ancient soil

[Chorus]
You wake once more to rise again
Guardians of the tomb
You live once more to fight again
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Through the years, the memories fade
Forgotten now inside his grave
First in line, an empire lost in time
Until a farmer breaks the seal
The terracotta tomb revealed
To rise again for all the world to see

[Chorus]
You wake once more to rise again
Guardians of the tomb
You live once more to fight again
Guardians of the tomb

[Outro]
Awaken now, you'll rise again
Guardians of the tomb
