Once lions chased dragons And protected their claim But the Queen, she had bargained And time surely came So the lions decided To leave their domain
They came from the North They came with disdain The orchid is ours! That much is plain! Like a plague of locusts In numbers they came Some tried to resist it But most did not dare Like a plague of locusts They stripped her leaves bare But the brightest of petals Were allowed to remain
Loose tongues were forbidden Old tales were the same Sent to oblivion Sent there in shame There’s one story now! The lions we blame!
While betrayers grew rich The children protested And resisted the rain The promises are broken! Our dreams have been stained! The elders collected What they could from the street With no heart to tell them It would all be in vain
The Queen sighed in her mirror Looking broken and frail There was nothing to do Since the lions were tamed The Empire was falling The orchid reclaimed
