[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.
