| [00:13.270] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:16.950] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:19.670] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:23.840] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:40.930] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:44.680] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:47.900] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:51.870] |
"Now the old king is dead! |
| [00:53.610] |
Long live the king!" |
| [00:54.810] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:58.710] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:01.430] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:05.620] |
Upon pillars of salt' pillars of sand |
| [01:09.640] |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
| [01:13.220] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:16.610] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:20.070] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:23.540] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:27.080] |
Once you know there was never' |
| [01:29.710] |
never an honest word |
| [01:33.610] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:50.100] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:54.320] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [01:57.220] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:01.550] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:04.610] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:08.360] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:11.060] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:15.400] |
Oh who would ever wanna be king? |
| [02:19.150] |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
| [02:22.750] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:26.230] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:29.570] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:33.140] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:36.510] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:39.820] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:43.100] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:15.070] |
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
| [03:18.410] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:21.950] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:25.300] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:28.740] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:32.180] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:35.420] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:38.720] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
