No one could imagine this Should this be the end
Surrounded by five armies
From the reaches of the land
The Daimyo will have one final repast
Within the walls, untouched
Unreachable
For generations
This magnificent construction
A symbol of power
This invincible monolith
Surrounded by a moat
Deep and dangerous
Even at their finest hour
An army of elite samurai would fail
If they were to take the chance
For an army of dragons
It would be an impossible task
No one would suspect though
For it is such a beautiful scene
The outside view is one of perfection
An image of extraordinary order
Impregnable defense
And beneath that surface
Perfectly fit and crafted stone
Foundations thick enough
To repel cannon
Even mass formations
Whatever the enemy's intention
The lord of the domain
Keeps his warriors fit
Ready to act
With his hostages aware
That abrogation of the treaties
Keeping them there
Would mean that their deaths
Would be beyond brutal
And secretly held prisoners
Unpopular politicians
Or dangerous innocents
Unaware of the secrets they know
Are hidden away in dungeons
That stink of despair
Nothing can be expected to succeed
This is the Daimyo's perfect lair
His home
Only a perfect force of arms
Could possibly have hope to achieve
The end of the everlasting and still
The Daimyo sits upon his throne
Ready for battle
When his enemy blinks
He laughs and as he knows
No one who hesitates
Will ever bring him harm
