The Emperor sits upon his throne
A symbol of power, all alone
He rules with an iron fist
And demands the very best

But even he must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
For while the Emperor holds sway
The red bird shows us a new way

So let us heed both, side by side
The Emperor's strength and the red bird's pride
For in the balance of power and change
We'll find a path that's fair and just, not strange

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with the Emperor and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and pride
