[00:16.400]I used to rule the world
[00:20.670]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:23.930]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:29.180]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:33.730]
[00:41.660]I used to roll the dice
[00:46.250]Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
[00:50.220]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:54.890]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the King!"
[00:58.380]One minute I held the key
[01:03.130]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:06.340]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:11.940]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:13.580]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:16.100]
[01:16.990]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:21.230]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:25.350]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:29.730]For some reason I can not explain
[01:33.380]Once you know there was never' never an honest word
[01:40.680]
[01:41.380]That was when I ruled the world
[01:53.400]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:58.190]Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:01.388]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:06.627]People could not believe what I'd become
[02:10.467]Revolutionaries wait
[02:15.138]For my head on a silver plate
[02:17.398]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:22.458]Oh who would ever want to be King?
[02:25.317]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:25.698]
[02:29.700]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:33.860]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:36.186]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:39.886]For some reason I can not explain
[02:43.268]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:46.359]Never an honest word
[02:49.759]And that was when I ruled the world
[02:51.169]
[03:21.668]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
[03:24.435]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:28.795]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:32.775]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:37.677]For some reason I can not explain
[03:41.677]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:45.968]Never an honest word
[03:50.680]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:58.680]
[04:04.995]
[04:13.869]
