My avarice is more than simple need
I swim in riches, showered from the sky
No measurement can calculate such greed
A limit too grotesque to quantify
The power of possession is my art
Excess, the most extreme of all the sins
More grasping than the gods, I stand apart
Infinity is where my greed begins
Rejoice to see a glimpse, the smallest stone
A fraction of the fortune I control
For when this world is mine, and mine alone
The time will come to pay me with your soul
When all the things you had belong to me
Perhaps I’ll let you touch them, for a fee
