| [00:16.460] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:20.980] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:24.170] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:29.340] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:42.030] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:46.410] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:50.490] |
Listen as the crowd would sing |
| [00:54.430] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
| [00:58.510] |
One minute I held the key |
| [01:02.990] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:06.580] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:12.000] |
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
| [01:16.680] |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
| [01:21.070] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:25.150] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [01:29.380] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:33.560] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:37.940] |
Once you go there was never |
| [01:41.080] |
Never an honest word |
| [01:45.860] |
And that was when I ruled the world |
| [01:51.200] |
|
| [02:07.270] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [02:12.350] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [02:15.830] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:20.960] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:24.940] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:29.370] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:32.900] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:37.980] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:42.690] |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
| [02:46.780] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:50.970] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [02:55.150] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:59.580] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:04.160] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:07.790] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:11.920] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:16.460] |
|
| [03:51.790] |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
| [03:55.870] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [04:00.300] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [04:03.930] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [04:08.360] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [04:12.390] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [04:16.420] |
Never an honest word |
| [04:20.400] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [04:26.030] |
