No diamonds or guild,
just a sword and a shield,
have I to forge my empire.
The people of my city,
of which there are many,
respectfully call me Sire.
I scout, and I conquer,
acquiring plunder,
raising my score ever higher.
My neighbors despise me,
dread sight of my army,
and wish I would drown in the mire.
Be that as it may,
there will come a day,
when I have all I desire.
No more to gain,
for my toil and pain,
'tis then that I'll retire.
