| [00:13.81] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:17.45] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:20.41] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:24.28] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:41.63] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:45.21] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:48.55] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:52.17] |
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king! |
| [00:55.59] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:59.15] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:02.12] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:06.19] |
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
| [01:10.15] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:13.85] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:17.13] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:20.27] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:23.91] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:27.77] |
Once you go there was never, never an honest word |
| [01:34.20] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:50.82] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:54.87] |
Blew down the doors to let me in. |
| [01:57.83] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:01.96] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:05.36] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:08.90] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:11.73] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:16.00] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:19.73] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [02:23.39] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:26.67] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:30.66] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:33.50] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:37.05] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:40.31] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:43.59] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:15.82] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [03:18.99] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:22.29] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:25.90] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:29.40] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:32.94] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:35.97] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:39.25] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:42.64] |
|
