Rebirth

Strength is honor's sword
Cuts with such precise vengeance
Gives Empire new breath

A blasted landscape
Under sick and darkened skies
A flower erupts

The Emperor's Dilemma
Shisame runs red
with the blood of three great clans.
None are the victor.

In karma's cycle
Great rebirth only follows
Great amounts of death.

From ashes and dust
Glory and honor come forth
To guide our way again

Betrayal

I stole your honor
I destroyed all that you have
But the price was right

Old widow mourning
Finds no peace on mountain high
Clouds once more gather

Red sunset on the Ocean
Isle of the Mantis;
blood magic runs though your veins.
Will the sea run red?

Why did you kill me?
I only fucked your mother
Up the ass last night.

Friend in words and face
Deception and hate are yours
To late blood stained clothes
