[00:10.53]I hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing
[00:14.71]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[00:18.93]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[00:22.97]My missionaries in a foreign field
[00:31.24]
[00:42.88]I used to rule the world
[00:47.38]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:50.63]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:55.68]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:59.29]I used to roll the dice
[01:04.25]Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
[01:07.40]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[01:12.36]“Now the old king is dead!
[01:14.42]Long live the king!”
[01:15.97]One minute I held the key
[01:20.58]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:24.07]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:29.03]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:33.74]I hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing
[01:37.85]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:42.06]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:46.07]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:50.22]For some reason I cannot explain
[01:54.67]Once you go there was never
[01:57.83]Never an honest word
[02:02.49]That was when I ruled the world
[02:13.25]
[02:22.44]It was the wicked and wild wind
[02:27.68]Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:30.94]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:35.84]People could not believe what I’d become
[02:39.70]Revolutionaries wait
[02:44.20]For my head on a silver plate
[02:47.61]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:52.59]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:56.95]I hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing
[03:01.46]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:05.66]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:09.67]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:13.87]For some reason I cannot explain
[03:17.98]I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
[03:21.54]Never an honest word
[03:25.83]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:30.75]
[03:47.45]Hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing
[03:51.62]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:56.23]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[04:00.08]My missionaries in a foreign field
