Lyrics

[00:18.720] I used to rule the world
[00:22.270] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:24.850] Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:29.300] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:46.140] I used to roll the dice
[00:50.080] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:53.220] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:57.070] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[01:00.050] One minute I held the key
[01:03.890] Next the walls were closed on me
[01:06.680] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:10.820] Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:14.760] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:18.260] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:21.800] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:25.230] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:28.620] For some reason I can not explain
[01:32.060] Once you go there was never
[01:34.790] Never an honest word
[01:38.530] But that was when I ruled the world
[01:55.370] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:59.260] Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:02.000] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:06.390] People could not believe what I'd become
[02:09.380] Revolutionaries Wait
[02:13.280] For my head on a silver plate
[02:15.910] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:20.160] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:23.940] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:27.590] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:31.030] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:34.410] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:37.950] For some reason I can not explain
[02:41.340] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:44.370] Never an honest word
[02:47.820] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:04.400] (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:19.410] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:23.000] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:26.340] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:29.780] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:33.470] For some reason I can not explain
[03:36.600] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:39.890] Never an honest word
[03:43.330] But that was when I ruled the world
