burial ground of the dragon king

seeing the soldiers
lined up in their rows
protecting their king
who died long ago

the outer line
facing out toward the foe
shows just how far
this emperor would go

to protect himself
even in death
and built the 6000
hollow men to guard his dying breath

the hill filled
with mercury flowing rivers
he kept out trespassers
even today he delivers

his enemies a blow
keeping them from
removing his
supposedly immortal soul
