Lyrics

[00:13.700] I used to rule the world
[00:16.548] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.388] Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:23.509] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:40.700] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.550] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.600] Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:51.470] Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
[00:54.620] One minute I held the key
[00:58.520] Next the walls were closed on me
[01:01.450] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.360] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.300] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:13.010] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.500] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:20.100] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.400] For some reason I can't explain
[01:26.900] Once you go there was never, never an honest word
[01:33.400] That was when I ruled the world
[01:49.900] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:54.070] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.800] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.059] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.359] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.480] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.598] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.680] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:19.148] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:22.558] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.038] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:30.248] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:34.070] For some reason I can't explain
[02:37.148] I know Saint Peter will call my name
[02:40.408] Never an honest word
[02:43.748] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:00.188] Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh...
[03:16.388] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:19.077] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:22.568] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:26.128] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:29.498] For some reason I can't explain
[03:32.798] I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:36.098] Never an honest word
[03:39.288] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:42.728] Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
[03:51.589] Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh...
