[00:12.221]I used to rule the world
[00:15.581]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:17.891]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:21.551]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:30.321]I used to roll the dice
[00:33.621]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:36.390]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:39.850]Now the old king is dead
[00:41.200]Long live the king
[00:42.450]One minute I held the key
[00:45.780]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:48.60]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:51.770]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[00:55.300]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[00:58.280]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:01.299]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:04.209]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:07.289]For some reason I can't explain
[01:10.308]Once you're gone there was never
[01:12.768]Never an honest word
[01:15.957]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:24.316]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:28.16]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:30.386]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:34.176]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:36.796]Revolutionaries wait
[01:40.85]For my head on a silver plate
[01:42.425]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[01:46.195]Oh who would ever want to be king
[01:49.595]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:52.655]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:55.635]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:58.485]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:01.655]For some reason I can't explain
[02:04.674]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:07.394]Never an honest word
[02:10.324]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:02.144]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[03:05.124]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:08.104]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:11.14]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:14.114]For some reason I can't explain
[03:17.34]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:19.834]Never an honest word
[03:22.804]But that was when I ruled the world
