[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]
