Lyrics

[00:10.890] I used to rule the world
[00:12.898] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:15.389] Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:20.990] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:31.227] I used to roll the dice
[00:35.378] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:39.238] Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:43.388] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:47.298] One minute I held the key
[00:50.498] Next the walls were closed on me
[00:53.980] And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:58.288] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:10.580] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:14.990] Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[01:17.838] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:22.900] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:25.489] For some reason I can't explain
[01:29.680] Once you go there was never, never an honest word
[01:36.489] But that was when I ruled the world
[01:46.819] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:51.489] Blew down the doors to let me in.
[01:54.418] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:59.368] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:02.868] Revolutionaries wait
[02:06.879] For my head on a silver plate
[02:09.838] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:16.890] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:18.878] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:22.698] Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[02:26.468] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:30.889] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:34.289] For some reason I can't explain
[02:37.748] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:41.889] Never an honest word
[02:45.280] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:03.208] (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:34.858] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:38.928] Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[03:42.458] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:46.258] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:50.980] For some reason I can't explain
[03:53.738] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:57.278] Never an honest word
[04:00.898] But that was when I ruled the world
[04:05.448] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[04:09.789] Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[04:13.228] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[04:16.898] My missionaries in a foreign field
[04:20.748] For some reason I can't explain
[04:24.349] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[04:27.778] Never an honest word
[04:32.299] But that was when I ruled the world
