[00:12.82]I used to rule the world
[00:16.95]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.82]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:23.96]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:27.46]
[00:41.10]I used to roll the dice
[00:44.54]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:47.82]Listened as the crowd would sing,
[00:51.42]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:54.83]One minute I held the key
[00:58.53]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:01.26]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.51]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.07]
[01:09.63]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:13.02]Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.54]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:19.97]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.43]For some reason I can't explain
[01:26.88]Once you'd gone there was never
[01:29.62]Never an honest word
[01:33.33]And that was when I ruled the world
[01:36.62]
[01:49.75]It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.27]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.21]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.32]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.76]Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.37]For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.10]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.48]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:19.08]
[02:19.34]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:22.78]Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.27]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.62]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.08]For some reason I can't explain
[02:36.49]I know St. Peter won't call my name
[02:39.68]Never an honest word
[02:42.92]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:46.19]
[02:59.26]Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
[03:14.65]
[03:15.00]Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:18.57]Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:21.79]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:25.39]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.81]For some reason I can't explain
[03:32.17]I know St. Peter won't call my name
[03:35.31]Never an honest word
