Cuts bleeding silver,

our skin sweating gold;

we live in the mountains,

like in the stories they told.

Our castle is waiting;

built for the kings.

What are we made of?

What are we worth?

We never fill pockets,

we always deprive

people of oxygen,

food, and the like.

The pearls lay hanging

proud on our necks,

while tin children

are fighting, like

birds in a nest.
