| [00:14.340] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:18.080] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:20.720] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:24.840] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:42.270] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:45.800] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:49.030] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:52.840] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
| [00:56.050] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:59.670] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:02.760] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:06.660] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:09.640] |
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [01:13.250] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:16.830] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:20.250] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:23.800] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [01:27.200] |
Once you know there was never, never an honest word |
| [01:33.660] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:50.580] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:54.470] |
Blew down the doors to let me in. |
| [01:57.480] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:01.430] |
People could not believe what I'd become |
| [02:04.830] |
Revolutionaries Wait |
| [02:09.470] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:12.640] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:16.680] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:20.680] |
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [02:24.070] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:27.590] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:31.070] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:34.500] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [02:38.020] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [02:41.520] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:44.370] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:01.360] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:16.740] |
Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [03:19.760] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:23.190] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:26.550] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:30.120] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [03:33.540] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [03:37.040] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:39.980] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
