[00:11.61]I used to rule the world
[00:16.86]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.95]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:22.93]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:28.03]I used to roll the dice
[00:46.06]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.84]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:52.34]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:55.92]One minute I held the key
[00:59.36]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:02.79]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.83]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:10.63]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:14.17]
[01:14.52]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:17.87]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:21.11]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:24.90]For some reason I can't explain
[01:28.13]Once you're gone there was never
[01:31.88]Never an honest word
[01:35.06]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:53.21]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:55.84]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:58.88]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:02.56]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:06.35]Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.77]For my head on a silver plate
[02:12.77]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:16.57]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:20.83]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:24.51]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:27.96]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:31.39]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:35.09]For some reason I can't explain
[02:38.42]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:41.80]Never an honest word
[02:45.04]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:54.90]Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh
[03:08.70]Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh,
[03:15.78]Woahahahah
[03:17.30]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[03:20.58]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:24.13]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:29.59]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:31.21]For some reason I can't explain
[03:34.44]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:37.83]Never an honest word
[03:41.11]But that was when I ruled the world
