Our Precious Sunshine wanders

In search for a friend

Alone, he ponders

About the end


With his hands, he harvests

The last dark oak

He goes into the darkness

Abandoning all hope


He travels the world

In search for a home

Beauty is unfurled

As our sunshine roams


He circles the border

And returns to the start

He comes to the south

With an ache in his heart


They gather, in the southern village

Many here to plunder and pillage

The dark oak burns to the ground

And chaos erupts when the ashes are found.


A scarred man takes Our Sunshine aside

And whispers to him with a glimmer in his eye

He says to Our Sunshine, "Why don't we take the Sand?

We'll be the most powerful in the land!"


With a laugh, Our Sunshine disagrees

As he presents his dark oak trees

And he responds, confident now

"To gain a monopoly is to gain ground.


I've gathered the last of the dark oak

I've gathered something that went into smoke

I have something to hide in my cloak.

My friend, I have the last dark oak!


For in fact, the desert isn't the best place to live

It's not the place to grow and give

It's quite the contrary my friend

It'll bring us to our end."


Scar replies, "It's not about living,

My friend, it is about the monopoly

It is about our gain and our profit

It is about putting money in our pockets


I agree, to gain monopoly is to gain ground

But let us turn this statement around

Sand is quite valuable, it's quite rare

So let us take it and make others pay to get there!


And with your oak, we can take that, as well

We can double our profits and all will be well

I have many ideas for our Monopoly

Just listen, my friend, listen to me!"


Our Sunshine thinks for a second

He ponders for only a millisecond

He follows Scar into the woods

They go into the darkness, searching for goods


Into a bunker they plot their plan

to take all the sand

They make a strong plan

They will be the strongest in the land


And all at the start

There was a spark

Something had started

In Scar's heart...
