[00:02.40]I used to rule the world
[00:04.12]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:06.71]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:10.75]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:27.73]I used to roll the dice
[00:31.38]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:34.41]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:38.36]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:41.08]One minute I held the key
[00:44.93]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:47.72]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:51.87]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[00:55.56]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[00:59.25]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:02.64]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:05.98]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:09.37]For some reason I can not explain
[01:12.81]Once you go there was never
[01:15.49]Never an honest word
[01:19.29]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:35.77]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:39.57]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:42.19]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:46.39]People could not believe what I'd become
[01:49.48]Revolutionaries Wait
[01:53.24]For my head on a silver plate
[01:55.92]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:00.11]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:03.92]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:07.40]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:10.85]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:14.23]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:17.68]For some reason I can not explain
[02:21.01]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:24.09]Never an honest word
[02:27.29]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:43.78](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[02:59.30]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:02.89]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:06.29]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:09.48]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:13.11]For some reason I can not explain
[03:16.26]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:19.50]Never an honest word
[03:22.73]But that was when I ruled the world
