[00:04.49] I used to rule the world
[00:07.734] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:10.187] Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:14.569] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:31.512] I used to roll the dice
[00:34.764] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:37.896] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:41.858] "Now the old king is dead!Long live the king!"
[00:45.96] One minute I held the key
[00:48.733] Next the walls were closed on me
[00:51.462] And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:55.261] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[00:59.248] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:02.869] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:06.256] Be my mirror,my sword and shield
[01:09.678] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:12.990] For some reason I can't explain
[01:16.456] Once you go there was never
[01:19.198] Never an honest word
[01:23.103] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:39.855] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:43.378] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:46.242] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:50.54] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:53.758] Revolutionaries wait
[01:57.410] For my head on a silver plate
[02:00.136] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:04.40] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:08.196] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:11.339] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:14.993] Be my mirror,my sword and shield
[02:18.224] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:21.778] For some reason I can't explain
[02:25.93] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:28.114] Never an honest word
[02:31.631] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:03.165] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:06.204] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:09.684] Be my mirror,my sword and shield
[03:13.68] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:16.543] For some reason I can't explain
[03:19.879] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:23.188] Never an honest word
[03:26.552] But that was when I ruled the world.
