Seated high on the throne of infamy His smarting embrace envelopes pure desire From the water you drink to the air you breathe From the riches of kings to the rags of beggars Your freedom, your mind, your possessions, your obsessions Craving greatness and gall, everything and all Senselessly slaved to the poisoned yearning of his core He is avarice absolute, he wants the world and more.

Avarice
Seated high on the throne of infamy His smarting embrace envelopes pure desire From the water you drink to the air you breathe From the riches of kings to the rags of beggars Your freedom, your mind, your possessions, your obsessions Craving greatness and gall, everything and all Senselessly slaved to the poisoned yearning of his core He is avarice absolute, he wants the world and more.
