Lyrics

[Verse 1: The Last Emperor]
Stand before the ancient temple
O great goddess may we enter
Indulge in our favorite pleasures
May we see your ancient treasure
Reaffirm our new suspicion
Music is our true religion
Heal the soul improve our vision
Mankind needs a new position
Free us from this earthly prison
In this universe we live in
May intrude, the moon has risen
Help us to complete our mission

Place us on the path of wisdom
Man is primate, hear us listen
Turn up the radio
Got a new way to flow
I took a sacred oath
Here to save your souls
Feeling the base move yo
Every place we go
How can we make you whole
Totally take control

Let it shake your soul
Motivate the body
Liberate the whole
As we face the goddess
Let us break the hold
And escape the mind
This is the way we go
Into the Great Divide

[Hook: The Last Emperor]
Into the Great Divide
Into the Great Divide

[Verse 2: Stanley Huang]
是不是已经到世界末日？ (Is it the end of the world?)
看看这个宇宙，不够一起生存吗？ (Look at this universe, isn't it enough to survive together?)
应该有其他世界吧？ (There should be other worlds, right?)
可以接受我这个马戏团的猴子啊！ (Take my advice, Spacemonkeyz!)
和平真的有那么难吗？ (Is peace really that hard?)
来，莱卡，在天文里第一只登上太空的。(Come on, Laika, the first dog in space in astronomy)
什么时后才轮到？ (When will it be my turn?)
什么，太空猴入侵地球了吗？ (What, have the Spacemonkeyz invaded Earth?)
他们有没有用他们的武器？ (Did they use their weapons?)
他们的乐器就是他们的枪， (Their instruments are their guns,)
应该就是他们的子弹。 (It should be their bullet)
怎么办？ 街头霸王赶快反抗。 (What to do? Gorillaz fight back quickly)
用我的声音做炸弹，给太空猴难。(Make bombs with my voice to give the Spacemokeyz trouble)
让我们来一起偷他们的太空。(Let's steal their spaceship together)
我终于可以离开这个地球的混。(I can finally leave this chaos on Earth)
一定很好玩！ (Must be fun!)
就什么都不管！ (Don't care about anything!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: The Last Emperor]
Testing, testing
Somebody turn my mic on
Listen to the words of an intelligent life form
Who are those UFOs you're searching the sky for?
Robot android mechanical cyborg (Huh!)

I'm just a great man
In search of a great land
Came with a great plan
Mechanical ape man
Heard of a great van
Whatever it takes man
Prevent the planet Earth from becoming wasteland
Overpower the hurt
With the power to heal
Even reveal the secret on how to be real
Feel the strength that's strong
Like the power of steel
A machine-like being with the power to feel
Feel the feeling inside
Each individual brings
With bionic eyes
I see invisible things
From beginning to end
We can fit in between
The band from the land of digital dreams

[Outro: The Last Emperor]
Into the Great Divide
Into the Great Divide
Robot android mechanical cyborg
Robot android mechanical cyborg
Into the Great Divide
Robot android mechanical cyborg
Robot android mechanical cyborg
Into the Great Divide

Robot android mechanical cyborg
Robot android mechanical cyborg
Robot android mechanical cyborg
Robot android mechanical cyborg
