The Forbidden City Lyrics

By a million commoners built
They shall forever be forbidden to enter
Stone wall high surround the grounds
The emperor decreed all to be the foe

Treasures adorn internal walls
Darklit halls with bricks of gold
Imperial palace for foreigners to behold

The fables of those who may pass or go
Corpses of those whom have tempted its fate
Blood shaded waters
Sunken rotting bodies fill its depths

Treasures adorn internal walls
Darklit halls with bricks of gold
Imperial palace for foreigners to behold

Try if thou wilt
Luck shall not partake
To enter its walls
Would be a graven mistake

You shalt not enter though the gates
Of divine might nor meriddian
Harmony prevails
To all whom enters its walls

The Forbidden City
