It sounds like a king or ruler remebering his past. He speaks of power and control. But also of how corrupt and out of order things were. Its almost like a story. He speaks as if its a flashback. And forshadows the rest by saying "(And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand) " which could also be called the climax. Then everything got bad and he says how people wanted him dead "head on a silver plate". The real point of this story is mentioned when he says "Oh who would ever want to be king?" it shows that the power overtook him and that it is way worse than we think it is. Not everything is how it appears, even the rich have troubles.
