about

Lyrics: Brenden Crow
Music: Brenden Crow, Midnight Force

Set between 230 and 221 BC, as the ruthless Qin Shi Huang conquered the seven warring states of ancient China, uniting the vast landmass under his short lived Qin dynasty and coining the term "Huangdi" (God Emperor) to describe himself.

lyrics

Raise up your bows towards the sun!
For the age of Qin is dawning.
Three centuries of civil war has birthed the first empire of China.
One hundred thousand men slain
Are as one in the ruthless gaze of Huangdi.
To bring the seven kings to kneel amidst famine and disaster.

Huangdi! Behold the price of immortality.

Sunrise beckons to the king, the heir to heaven, fearing sunset.
Entombed alive the hundred schools and burned the wisdom of Confucius
Unto the hordes of north and south the emperor will show no mercy
And with a hundred workers deaths draw a line of blood around the empire

One king to rule under heaven, one army to rule under earth
Huangdi conqueror of death, eternal emperor of clay
One king to rule under heaven, one army forged of flame
Huangdi conqueror of terror, in stone lies eternal life

His death foretold by prophecy, from the sun the stone fell in Dongjun
The first emperor will die, below his great wall his empire divided
