• Golden riches,
    I live;
    pampered beyond reasoning,
    all handed with smiles,
    never to feel poverty.

    Golden riches,
    I am;
    engraved in my being,
    brave and charming façade,
    befitting a would-be-king.

    Golden riches,
    I resent;
    as I clothe myself,
    caged by traditions,
    chained by duties.

    Golden riches,
    I escape;
    on an adventuring quest,
    a tower I arrive,
    lured by an enchanting siren.

    Golden riches,
    I remember;
    wanting to liberate,
    my beloved free to be,
    alas wickedness cursed me unseeing.

    Golden riches,
    I found;
    incomparable to my heart's whisper,
    what was nothing is everything,
    elixir of a maiden's tear.

    Golden riches,
    I return;
    a changed man,
    never to be the same,
    faithful beside a miraculous wonder.
