Kingdom Of Gold |
| The high priest of money looks down on the river |
| The dawn coming up on his kingdom of gold |
| When the rim of the sun sends an arrow of silver |
| He prays to the gods of the bought and the sold |
| He turns to his symbols, his ribbons of numbers |
| They circle and spin on their mystical scroll |
| He looks for a sign while the city still slumbers |
| And the ribbons and the river forever unroll |
| In his kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold |
| Kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold |
| Kingdom of gold |
| On the horizon an enemy haven |
| Sends traces of smoke high up into the sky |
| A pack of dog jackals and a rabble of ravens |
| Who’ll come for his fortress, his castle on high |
| In his kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold |
| Kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold |
| Kingdom of gold |
| His axes and armour will conquer these devils |
| The turbulent raiders will falter and fall |
| Their leaders be taken, their camps burned and levelled |
| They’ll hang in the wind from his citadel walls |
| In his kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold |
| Kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold |
| Kingdom of gold |
