[00:14.340]I used to rule the world
[00:18.080]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:20.720]Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:24.840]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:42.270]I used to roll the dice
[00:45.800]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:49.030]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:52.840]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:56.050]One minute I held the key
[00:59.670]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:02.760]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:06.660]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:09.640]I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[01:13.250]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.830]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:20.250]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.800]For some reason I can not explain
[01:27.200]Once you know there was never, never an honest word
[01:33.660]That was when I ruled the world
[01:50.580]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:54.470]Blew down the doors to let me in.
[01:57.480]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.430]People could not believe what I'd become
[02:04.830]Revolutionaries Wait
[02:09.470]For my head on a silver plate
[02:12.640]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:16.680]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:20.680]I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[02:24.070]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:27.590]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:31.070]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:34.500]For some reason I can not explain
[02:38.020]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[02:41.520]Never an honest word
[02:44.370]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:01.360](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:16.740]Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
[03:19.760]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:23.190]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:26.550]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:30.120]For some reason I can not explain
[03:33.540]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:37.040]Never an honest word
[03:39.980]But that was when I ruled the world
