Kingdom Of Gold Lyrics - Privateering - Mark Knopfler

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
