     Am                         G
The high priest of money looks down on the river 
     F          G                     Em
The dawn coming up on his kingdom of gold
          Am                     G         Am
When the rim of the sun sends an arrow of silver
     F           Em                         Am
He prays to the gods of the bought and the sold

    Am                        G          Am
He turns to his symbols, his ribbons of numbers 
      F           G                       Em
They circle and spin on their mystical scroll 
    Am                         G           Am
He looks for a sign while the city still slumbers
         F               Em              Am   A9  Am
And the ribbons and the river forever unroll

                   Am   A9  G
In his kingdom of gold

Am
               G           Am
On the horizon   an enemy haven 
        F         G                      Em
Sends traces of smoke high up into the sky 
   Am                        G         Am
A pack of dog jackals and a rabble of ravens
        F            Em                      Am
Who?ll come for his fortress, his castle on high

                   Am   A9  G
In his kingdom of gold

    Am                    G             Am
His axes and armour will conquer these devils
     F         G                       Em 
The turbulent raiders will falter and fall 
       Am                      G                Am
Their leaders be taken, their camps burned and levelled
         F           Em                    Am
They?ll hang in the wind from his citadel walls 

                   Am   A9  G
In his kingdom of gold
