Terra-Cotta Soldiers
Silence of sleep
Thousands of years
A forbidden mystery prevailed
Bright sunshine overwhelmed
Millions of human beings
An ancient dynasty
Reappeared
Palace, military and hegemony
Slowly evoking a vivid history
Buried power with treasuries
Reemerged
Fear, blood, and dictatorship
Gruesomely established the first unity
Emperor and Empress
Heaven and Earth
How daring were they
Locked us there
Even just terra-cotta soldiers
We demanded democracy
And refused being belongings
