[00:07.699] I used to rule the world
[00:11.819] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:14.549] Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:18.669] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:22.469]
[00:34.320] I used to roll the dice
[00:36.800] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:38.200] Listened as the crowd would sing
[00:40.370] Now the old king is dead long live the king
[00:41.770] One minute I held the key
[00:45.380] Next the walls were closed on me
[00:49.100] And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:52.490] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[00:55.350]
[00:56.140] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[00:59.740] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:03.700] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:06.760] Missionaries in a foreign field
[01:10.110] For some reason I can't explain
[01:13.520] Once you'd gone there was never
[01:16.160] Never an honest word
[01:19.800] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:24.400]
[01:36.600] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:40.140] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:43.900] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:47.300] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:50.580] Revolutionaries wait
[01:54.600] For my head on a silver plate
[01:57.190] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:00.929] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:04.280]
[02:04.798] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:08.497] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:11.837] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:15.157] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:18.777] For some reason I can't explain
[02:22.270] I know St Peter won't call my name
[02:25.377] Never an honest word
[02:28.517] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:32.906]
[02:59.587] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:03.117] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:07.579] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:10.107] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:13.347] For some reason I can't explain
[03:16.587] I know St Peter won't call my name
[03:19.867] Never an honest word
[03:23.357] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:28.557]
