Gather ye 'round me, and do bend your ears For this story you're about to hear Intriguing tale of deceit and sin Of honor and duty as well This story takes place in our city of gold A place I once hailed my home Ruler the king with heart so cold His greatest desire to own So hear my tale, sing with me Of that never fullfil Greed of old, fools gold Decay on our rulers heart Burning the bridges, the road to home He yearned only treasures to hoard Sealing our fate he set his sight For gold 'way from the light
