Emperor

Bow your head over the chopping block
My army chants while your head's held up
No prisoners we must exploit the weak
We survive only by conquering
Prepare for war. Train my army
I'll take it all ruthlessly
We feel their skulls under our feet
All six states fall by my strategy
Once they are infiltrated
Replace the blood-soaked blades with
our thundering chariots
To finish up the brutal killing
Make sure their crushed… My Calvary
Emperor. Emperor Shi Huandgi
Emperor. Emperor - first August God
My Chin Empire is now complete
But a cold fear of treachery
Assassins put to their death
Ripped apart by five horses
Tied to their limbs and their head
Fear. Death. Fear. Death
The spirits of my victims
Will seek revenge in the afterlife
Build my terracotta army
To command after my death
No wait - that's not enough I must
Become immortal. I can't die
Mercury pills, eternal life
Over ten years they've poisoned me
Now that I'm gone, died by the sea
Place me in my tomb
Carried down inside my mausoleum
My killing days are not through
Place my bronze sword into its place
Now run for the doors
Drowning in the seas of mercury
Your imperial doom
