| [00:14.170] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:17.850] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:20.570] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:24.740] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:41.830] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:45.580] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:49.400] |
Listened as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:53.070] |
"Now the old king is dead! |
| [00:54.810] |
Long live the king! |
| [00:56.010] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:59.910] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:02.630] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:06.820] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:10.820] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:14.720] |
Roman cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:18.110] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:21.570] |
Missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:25.040] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:29.180] |
Once you'd gone there was never, |
| [01:31.810] |
never an honest word |
| [01:36.010] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:52.500] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:56.720] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [01:59.620] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:03.950] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:07.610] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:11.360] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:14.060] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:18.400] |
Oh who would ever wanna be king? |
| [02:22.150] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [02:25.750] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:29.230] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:32.570] |
Missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:36.140] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:39.510] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:43.120] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:46.400] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:03.090] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:19.570] |
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [03:22.910] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:26.450] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:29.800] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:33.240] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:36.680] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:39.920] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:43.220] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
