Awake, ancient warriors
Lords of time, I summon you once more
Give me strength to rise from my knees

From a distance, far from human sight
Across the horizon, where the sun begins to rise
Visible images seen by the warrior's eye
Standing firm, waiting for me to be by their side

Getting closer, to the images seen by me
My body frightened, but my soul awaits to see
My journey is ending, finally I can rest in peace
I hear the whispers, rise from your tired feet

Staring straight into the eyes of the sun
My offering of blood has begun
Breaking the silence imposed by time
Awake temples of Teotihuacán

And they look so splendid
Uprising the plains before them
And the now the winds can carry
The oath to the emperors that wait

Ancient warriors, sons of the fifth and final sun
Your halls are silent, the blood on the walls is gone
And those altars, where are the sacred screams of pain
Now I summon your glory once again

From a distance, far from human sight
Across the horizon, where the sun begins to rise
Visible images seen by the warrior's eye
Standing firm, waiting for me to be by their side

Staring straight into the eyes of the sun
My offering of blood has begun
Breaking the silence imposed by time
Awake temples of Teotihuacán
