(Verse 1)
Before the walls, before the throne
Before the first cathedral stone
I stood where nothing yet had name
And from my hands, the builders came
One becomes three, three becomes nine
Every soul that crosses mine
Multiplies beneath my gaze
I am the start of endless days
(Pre-Chorus)
Chimil gave you breath and bone
I taught you not to stand alone
Together rise, together build
A thousand hands, a single guild
(Chorus)
I am the deepest foundation
The god beneath the stone
Where one would stand, now three arrive
No army fights alone
Strike me down, I become the temple
Kill the god, the land remains
And when you march with faithful numbers
I will rise and walk again
(Verse 2)
Vigilant, I never sleep
Every watch is mine to keep
Six and six, I hold the line
While legions form in threes behind
You make a soldier, I make three
You build a squad, I build armies
The Oltec knew what I provide
Not just a god—a rising tide
(Pre-Chorus)
Chimil gave you breath and bone
I taught you not to stand alone
Together rise, together build
A thousand hands, a single guild
(Chorus)
I am the deepest foundation
The god beneath the stone
Where one would stand, now three arrive
No army fights alone
Strike me down, I become the temple
Kill the god, the land remains
And when you march with faithful numbers
I will rise and walk again
(Bridge)
Temple of Civilization
Stone that remembers my name
Three creatures cross the battlefield
I rise from the earth again
You cannot kill what founds a nation
You cannot break what holds the weight
I am the floor beneath your cities
I am the first and I am fate
(Final Chorus)
We are the deepest foundation
The many born from one
Ojer Taq has seen your armies
And tripled every son
This is how civilizations
Turn the tide and win the war
You thought you saw my final form
Now watch me build a thousand more
