[00:14.550]I used to rule the world
[00:18.220]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:21.040]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:25.490]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:29.190]
[00:43.570]I used to roll the dice
[00:47.800]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:51.280]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:55.260]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:58.560]One minute I held the key
[01:02.510]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:05.760]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:09.930]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:13.290]
[01:14.340]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:17.260]Roman Caralry choirs are singing
[01:21.730]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:23.210]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:29.010]For some reason I can't explain
[01:30.950]Once you go there was never
[01:34.130]Never an honest word
[01:38.790]And that was when I ruled the world
[01:43.960]
[01:56.570]It was the wicked and wild wind
[02:00.350]Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:03.470]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:09.110]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:12.640]Revolutionaries wait
[02:16.510]For my head on a silver plate
[02:19.300]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:24.310]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:26.770]
[02:28.250]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:31.780]Roman Cavalry choirs arｅ singing
[02:35.590]Be my mirror, iny sword and shield
[02:39.320]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:42.900]For some reason I can't explain
[02:46.100]I know Samt Peter won't call my name
[02:49.410]Never an honcsr word
[02:53.390]But that was when I ruled r hr world
[02:57.760]
[03:27.460]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringig
