| [00:12.670] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:16.350] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:19.070] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:23.240] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:40.330] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:44.080] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:47.300] |
Listened as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:51.270] |
"Now the old king is dead! |
| [00:53.010] |
Long live the king! |
| [00:54.210] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:58.110] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:00.830] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:05.020] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:09.020] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:12.920] |
Roman cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:16.310] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:19.770] |
Missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:23.240] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:27.380] |
Once you'd gone there was never, |
| [01:30.010] |
never an honest word |
| [01:34.210] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:50.700] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:54.920] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [01:57.820] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:02.150] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:05.810] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:09.560] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:12.260] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:16.600] |
Oh who would ever wanna be king? |
| [02:20.350] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [02:23.950] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:27.430] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:30.770] |
Missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:34.340] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:37.710] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:41.320] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:44.600] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:01.290] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:17.770] |
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [03:21.110] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:24.650] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:28.000] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:31.440] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:34.880] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:38.120] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:41.420] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
