[00:13.440]I used to rule the world
[00:17.180]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.820]Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:23.940]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:28.190]
[00:41.370]I used to roll the dice
[00:44.900]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.130]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:51.940]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:55.150]One minute I held the key
[00:58.770]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:01.860]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.760]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:08.790]
[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
[01:39.290]
[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
[02:08.270]For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.440]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.480]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:18.070]
[02:19.480]I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[02:22.870]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.390]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:29.870]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.300]For some reason I can not explain
[02:36.820]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[02:40.320]Never an honest word
[02:43.170]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:47.770]
[03:00.160](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:15.540]Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[03:18.560]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:21.990]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:25.350]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.920]For some reason I can not explain
[03:32.340]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:35.840]Never an honest word
[03:38.780]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:42.970]
[03:44.970]Oh
