[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
