I'm just a slab of cold white stone
Where seeds of empire first were sown
I felt the settler plant his wheat
And heard the march of leather feet
The borders push and then they bend
A long road that will never end
The map is wide and painted green
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Turn the hex and roll the dice
Pay the heavy golden price
Build a wall or build a spire
Set the sleeping world on fire
I watched the bronze turn into steel
The grinding of a heavy wheel
A library of parchment scrolls
While ancient thunder loudly rolls
The borders push and then they bend
A long road that will never end
The map is wide and painted green
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Turn the hex and roll the dice
Pay the heavy golden price
Build a wall or build a spire
Set the sleeping world on fire
One king wants a garden plot
Another wants a battle spot
They fight for salt and bits of ore
Then knock upon my heavy door
From the jungle to the frozen peak
The winners take what losers seek
A rocket climbs to touch the black
And there ain't no way of turning back
Turn the hex and roll the dice
Pay the heavy golden price
Build a wall or build a spire
Set the sleeping world on fire
Now I'm worn and weathered grey
Watching all the kings decay
Just a rock in a dusty field
Waiting for the final yield
Turn the hex and roll the dice
Pay the heavy golden price
Build a wall or build a spire
Set the sleeping world on fire
Just roll the dice.
Keep it rolling.
One more turn.
