[00:10.870] I used to rule the world
[00:14.550] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:17.270] Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:21.440] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:24.550]
[00:36.730] I used to roll the dice
[00:40.480] Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
[00:43.700] Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:47.370] "Now the old king is dead!
[00:48.810] Long live the king!"
[00:49.710] One minute I held the key
[00:53.310] Next the walls were closed on me
[00:56.030] And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:59.920] Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:03.940] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:07.220] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:10.010] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:13.470] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:16.640] For some reason I can’t explain
[01:19.880] Once you know there was never,
[01:22.510] never an honest word
[01:25.810] That was when I ruled the world
[01:28.230]
[01:40.500] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:44.720] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:47.620] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:51.950] People couldn’t believe what I’d become
[01:54.710] Revolutionaries wait
[01:58.160] For my head on a silver plate
[02:00.560] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:04.600] Oh who would ever wanna be king?
[02:08.050] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:11.350] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:14.830] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:18.170] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:21.740] For some reason I can’t explain
[02:25.110] I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
[02:28.420] Never an honest word
[02:31.100] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:32.220]
[02:44.790] (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:00.070] Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:03.110] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:06.650] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:09.400] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:12.840] For some reason I can’t explain
[03:15.980] I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
[03:18.920] Never an honest word
[03:22.220] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:26.220]
