| [00:06.03] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:09.74] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:12.22] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:16.47] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:33.50] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:37.55] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:40.64] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:44.53] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
| [00:47.52] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:51.37] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [00:54.09] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [00:58.35] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:02.20] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [01:05.74] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:09.22] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:12.61] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:16.04] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [01:19.49] |
Once you go there was never |
| [01:26.01] |
Never an honest word |
| [01:26.37] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [01:43.22] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:47.07] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [01:49.70] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [01:54.15] |
People could not believe what I'd become |
| [01:57.17] |
Revolutionaries Wait |
| [02:00.97] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:03.65] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:07.95] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:11.60] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [02:15.34] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:18.72] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:22.06] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:25.71] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [02:29.09] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:32.18] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:35.62] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [02:52.18] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:07.27] |
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [03:10.81] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:14.15] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:17.54] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:21.08] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [03:24.42] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:27.45] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:31.00] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
