| [00:12.070] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:15.750] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:18.470] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:22.640] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:39.730] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:43.480] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:46.700] |
Listened as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:50.670] |
"Now the old king is dead! |
| [00:52.410] |
Long live the king! |
| [00:53.610] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:57.510] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:00.230] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:04.420] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:08.420] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:12.320] |
Roman cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:15.710] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:19.170] |
Missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:22.640] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:26.780] |
Once you'd gone there was never, |
| [01:29.410] |
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 |
| [02:05.210] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:08.960] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:11.660] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:16.000] |
Oh who would ever wanna be king? |
| [02:19.750] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [02:23.350] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:26.830] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:30.170] |
Missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:33.740] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:37.110] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:40.720] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:44.000] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:00.690] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:17.170] |
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [03:20.510] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:24.050] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:27.400] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:30.840] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:34.280] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:37.520] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:40.820] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
