| [00:14.040] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:17.780] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:20.420] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:24.540] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:41.970] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:45.500] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:48.730] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:52.540] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
| [00:55.750] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:59.370] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:02.460] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:06.360] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:10.240] |
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [01:13.850] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:17.430] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:20.850] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:24.400] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [01:27.800] |
Once you know there was never, never an honest word |
| [01:34.260] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:51.180] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:55.070] |
Blew down the doors to let me in. |
| [01:58.080] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:02.030] |
People could not believe what I'd become |
| [02:05.430] |
Revolutionaries Wait |
| [02:08.870] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:12.040] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:16.080] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:20.080] |
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [02:23.470] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:26.990] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:30.470] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:33.900] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [02:37.420] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [02:40.920] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:43.770] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:00.760] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:16.140] |
Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing |
| [03:19.160] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:22.590] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:25.950] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:29.520] |
For some reason I can not explain |
| [03:32.940] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [03:36.440] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:39.380] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:45.570] |
Oh |
