[00:16.460]I used to rule the world
[00:20.980]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:24.170]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:29.340]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:42.030]I used to roll the dice
[00:46.410]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:50.490]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:54.430]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:58.510]One minute I held the key
[01:02.990]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:06.580]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:12.000]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:16.680]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:21.070]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:25.150]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:29.380]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:33.560]For some reason I can't explain
[01:37.940]Once you go there was never
[01:41.080]Never an honest word
[01:45.860]And that was when I ruled the world
[01:51.200]
[02:07.270]It was the wicked and wild wind
[02:12.350]Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:15.830]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:20.960]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:24.940]Revolutionaries wait
[02:29.370]For my head on a silver plate
[02:32.900]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:37.980]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:42.690]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:46.780]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:50.970]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:55.150]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:59.580]For some reason I can't explain
[03:04.160]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:07.790]Never an honest word
[03:11.920]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:16.460]
[03:51.790]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[03:55.870]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[04:00.300]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[04:03.930]My missionaries in a foreign field
[04:08.360]For some reason I can't explain
[04:12.390]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[04:16.420]Never an honest word
[04:20.400]But that was when I ruled the world
[04:26.030]
