We are silver
We are platinum and gold
We are resistant to corrosion
Obtained from ore
Turned into bullions and coins
We are consistent in emotion
We're not like you
You are ephemeral and weak
Quisquilian
But we are
Noble metal
King through all the ages
Noble metal
Such a valuable stuff
Metal
Shiny metal
But somehow not alive
We are diamond
We are sapphire and ruby
We do resist deterioration
Mined out of rocks
Refined from rough to cut and polished
We're symbolizing domination
We're not like you
You are ephemeral and weak
Quisquilian
But we are
Precious gemstones
King through all the ages
Precious gemstones
Such a valuable stuff
Gemstones
Glistening gemstones
Desirable as metal
King through all the ages
Noble metal
Such a valuable stuff
Metal
Shiny metal
As covetable as
Gemstones
King through all the ages
Precious gemstones
Such a valuable stuff
Gemstones
Glistening gemstones
As wantable as metal
King through all the ages
Noble metal
Such a valuable stuff
Metal
Shiny metal
Yet somehow not alive
