Mark Knopfler, Kingdom of Gold, ( & Peace), Lyrics: 
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 are 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, the kingdom of gold
Kingdom of gold
