I want the whole world
Everything in gold
I crave the treasures
More than stories told
I take what I want, no regret
Power and riches
Never more upset
It's all just a game
And I feel no shame
In this burning flame
I'm climbing higher
Built my empire
From stone and desire
Greed's my only fire
No love is needed
In this lonely tower
Wealth is all I know
It's my finest hour
Friends turn to shadows
But I push ahead
In my gilded cage
I reign supreme, no flaw
But the silence grows
And the nights are raw
I'm climbing higher
Built my empire
From stone and desire
Greed's my only fire
Mirrors reflect a hollow king
Surrounded by all my shiny things
But what is this feeling
That tickles deep within?
As I count my fortune
I lose my next of kin
I'm climbing higher
Built my empire
From stone and desire
Greed's my only fire
I'm climbing higher
Built my empire
From stone and desire
Greed's my only fire
