| [00:13.440] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:17.180] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:19.820] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:23.940] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:28.190] |
|
| [00:41.370] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:44.900] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:48.130] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:51.940] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
| [00:55.150] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:58.770] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:01.860] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:05.760] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:08.790] |
|
| [01:09.640] |
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [01:13.250] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:16.830] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:20.250] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:23.800] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [01:27.200] |
Once you know there was never, never an honest word |
| [01:33.660] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:39.290] |
|
| [01:50.580] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:54.470] |
Blew down the doors to let me in. |
| [01:57.480] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:01.430] |
People could not believe what I'd become |
| [02:04.830] |
Revolutionaries Wait |
| [02:08.270] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:11.440] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:15.480] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:18.070] |
|
| [02:19.480] |
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [02:22.870] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:26.390] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:29.870] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:33.300] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [02:36.820] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [02:40.320] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:43.170] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [02:47.770] |
|
| [03:00.160] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:15.540] |
Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [03:18.560] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:21.990] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:25.350] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:28.920] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [03:32.340] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [03:35.840] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:38.780] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:42.970] |
|
| [03:44.970] |
Oh |
