Lyrics

[00:14.040] I used to rule the world
[00:17.780] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:20.420] Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:24.540] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:41.970] I used to roll the dice
[00:45.500] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.730] Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:52.540] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:55.750] One minute I held the key
[00:59.370] Next the walls were closed on me
[01:02.460] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:06.360] Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:10.240] I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[01:13.850] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:17.430] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:20.850] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:24.400] For some reason I can not explain
[01:27.800] Once you know there was never, never an honest word
[01:34.260] That was when I ruled the world
[01:51.180] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:55.070] Blew down the doors to let me in.
[01:58.080] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:02.030] People could not believe what I'd become
[02:05.430] Revolutionaries Wait
[02:08.870] For my head on a silver plate
[02:12.040] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:16.080] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:20.080] I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[02:23.470] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.990] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:30.470] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.900] For some reason I can not explain
[02:37.420] I know Saint Peter will call my name
[02:40.920] Never an honest word
[02:43.770] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:00.760] (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:16.140] Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[03:19.160] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:22.590] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:25.950] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:29.520] For some reason I can not explain
[03:32.940] I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:36.440] Never an honest word
[03:39.380] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:45.570] Oh
