In wasn't the way before they came
took members out of their domain
made them part of a ruling cast
how long does stability last

last as long as your visions go
go so far one never knows
repercussions between impatient tribes
downplay normality between the sides..

members selected for their measure
become the leaders at their leisure
given positions to rule a class
how long would stability last

as a big fish in a tiny pool
the selected leader is the fool
grasps for power from nearby factions
stability is squandered at that action

visions come and leaders go
weak and infirm lose their glow
they didn't make it
to the head of the train
become part of a ruling domain
