[length: 05:22]
[00:28.70]The high priest of money looks down on the river
[00:33.88]The dawn coming up on his kingdom of gold
[00:40.76]When the rim of the sun sends an arrow of silver
[00:46.08]He prays to the gods of the bought and the sold
[00:55.28]He turns to his symbols, his ribbons of numbers
[01:00.74]They circle and spin on their mystical scroll
[01:07.20]He looks for a sign while the city still slumbers
[01:12.73]And the ribbons and the river forever unroll
[01:20.61]In his kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold
[01:31.92]Kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold
[01:43.03]Kingdom of gold
[02:05.64]On the horizon an enemy haven
[02:09.85]Sends traces of smoke high up into the sky
[02:16.72]A pack of dog jackals and a rabble of ravens
[02:22.07]Who’ll come for his fortress, his castle on high
[02:30.38]In his kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold
[02:41.47]Kingdom of gold, his kingdom of gold
[02:52.20]Kingdom of gold
[03:25.87]His axes and armour will conquer these devils
[03:31.35]The turbulent raiders will falter and fall
[03:37.89]Their leaders be taken, their camps burned and levelled
[03:43.45]They’ll hang in the wind from his citadel walls
[03:51.32]In his kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold
[04:02.43]Kingdom of gold, kingdom of gold
[04:13.39]Kingdom of gold
