matters arise soon
into other's bold warm hands
seeking a new path
as neighbors fumble
determination returns
to the defenders
steel meets black smoke stacks
the boy emperor returns
a new era starts
loyalty to none
but the paying customer
and his majesty
a grand bright future
consumed by the new order
a final redoubt
minds quickly transform
checking rabid obsessions
a global fusion
known east meets blank west
a new imperial face
ancient meets modern
a different task
the same principles remain
as faint fighters were
