Stories spun in silk
tales told down the line
Now all comes together
ushering in another time
Walkers of the world
wanderers of the wind
Orators of the oceans
sirens of the sand
Keepers of the light
pretenders of the faith
I have known you all, and now
come to take your place
See now, here is the Dragon
bow your head in my presence
See me in all my regal glory
I will make no pretense
My place has been established
my duty is the throne
My stubbornness is famous
and goes down to the bone
Do not expect me to step aside
or gain my respect quickly
Only the Snake's advice I heed -
and even then, not swiftly
I am the fire, the seeker of truth
and a hero in my heart
I am the tamer of the fates
and a light in the dark
You have forfeit your place here
make space, for I have come
This empire needs a leader, and
I am here to see the deed done
So make way for the Dragon,
make way for the Snake
Make way for the Monkey
you have made too many mistakes
Step down now, and surrender
this place is no longer yours
I am in my rightful place, and
to you I close the doors
The old court is now restored
the twelve have all been placed
I am the one, the crowning piece,
look into the empire's new face.
