I'm the richer, among these thieves  
A mighty gem, scattered the world over 
A world overlord, looking over the waters 
For beyond these shores I'm assured to own others 
The death of a nation, the birth of a dynasty 
An empire the sun never settles on 
Meaning it's on-going, and that it's no rest 
For my off-shore investments, my foreign possessions 
Longing for freedom, peace, and love 
And receiving none
