A legend foretold long ago

Tells of a fighter so strong

With a golden aura aglow

Every thousand years one comes along

In a fateful clash of titans

The legend awakened at last!

The evil emperor frightened

"What are you" he finally asked

I am the hope of the universe

the answer to living things crying out in fear

Ally to good

Nightmare to you

From a golden shine he rose

The monkey king descends

Legend realized and evil disposed

The emperor's terror ends

Stand in awe and witness

the rise of the monkey king

From realized legend many will spawn

stronger than ever before

The fighters the Earth can always depend on

threatened by evil no more

Gold hair's now symbol of strength

its powers break planets apart

It all started with the emperors death

when he lost to the warrior's heart

I am protector of the innocent

I am the light in the darkness, I'm truth

Ally to good

Nightmare to you

From a golden shine he rose

The monkey king descends

Legend realized and evil disposed

The emperor's terror ends

Stand in awe and witness

the rise of the monkey king
