| [00:27.65] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:31.39] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:34.14] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:38.33] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:55.49] |
I used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [01:02.27] |
Listen as the crowd would sing |
| [01:06.31] |
Now the old King is dead long live the King |
| [01:09.26] |
One minute I held the key |
| [01:13.27] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:15.78] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:20.02] |
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
| [01:24.12] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [01:27.40] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:31.15] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:34.46] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:37.88] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:41.20] |
Once you'd gone there was never |
| [01:43.94] |
Never an honest word |
| [01:47.38] |
And that was when I ruled the world |
| [02:04.19] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [02:08.46] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [02:11.51] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:15.83] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:18.86] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:22.69] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:25.39] |
I'm just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:29.70] |
Oh who would ever want to be king |
| [02:32.80] |
Now I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [02:37.08] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:40.61] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:43.82] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:47.73] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:50.93] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:54.12] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:57.08] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:28.54] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [03:32.66] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:36.14] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:39.48] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:43.25] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:46.59] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:49.71] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:52.84] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
