[00:10.870]I used to rule the world
[00:14.550]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:17.270]Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:21.440]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:24.550]
[00:36.730]I used to roll the dice
[00:40.480]Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
[00:43.700]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:47.370]"Now the old king is dead!
[00:48.810]Long live the king!"
[00:49.710]One minute I held the key
[00:53.310]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:56.030]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:59.920]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:03.940]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:07.220]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:10.010]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:13.470]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:16.640]For some reason I can’t explain
[01:19.880]Once you know there was never,
[01:22.510]never an honest word
[01:25.810]That was when I ruled the world
[01:28.230]
[01:40.500]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:44.720]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:47.620]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:51.950]People couldn’t believe what I’d become
[01:54.710]Revolutionaries wait
[01:58.160]For my head on a silver plate
[02:00.560]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:04.600]Oh who would ever wanna be king?
[02:08.050]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:11.350]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:14.830]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:18.170]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:21.740]For some reason I can’t explain
[02:25.110]I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
[02:28.420]Never an honest word
[02:31.100]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:32.220]
[02:44.790](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:00.070]Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:03.110]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:06.650]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:09.400]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:12.840]For some reason I can’t explain
[03:15.980]I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
[03:18.920]Never an honest word
[03:22.220]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:26.220]
