Lyrics

[00:00.000]
[00:15.090] I used to rule the world
[00:19.410] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:22.220] Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:27.000] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:31.140]
[00:46.710] I used to roll the dice
[00:50.960] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:54.320] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:58.650] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[01:01.850] One minute I held the key
[01:06.210] Next the walls were closed on me
[01:09.090] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:13.770] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:16.590]
[01:18.200] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:22.020] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:25.730] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:29.220] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:32.690]
[01:33.690] For some reason I can't explain
[01:37.370] Once you're gone there was never
[01:40.620] Never an honest word
[01:44.940] But that was when I ruled the world
[01:47.250]
[02:03.810] It was the wicked and wild wind
[02:08.250] Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:11.310] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:16.000] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:19.250] Revolutionaries wait
[02:23.620] For my head on a silver plate
[02:26.870] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:31.430] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:34.060]
[02:36.120] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:39.810] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:43.560] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:47.370] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:51.350] For some reason I can't explain
[02:55.000] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:58.750] Never an honest word
[03:02.750] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:12.900]
[03:21.870] Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh
[03:54.490] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[03:57.990] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[04:01.870] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[04:05.620] My missionaries in a foreign field
[04:08.860]
[04:09.400] For some reason I can't explain
[04:13.150] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[04:17.330] Never an honest word
[04:20.830] But that was when I ruled the world
[04:23.330]
