[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
