| [00:13.81] | I used to rule the world |
| [00:17.45] | Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:20.41] | Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:24.28] | Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:41.63] | I used to roll the dice |
| [00:45.21] | Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:48.55] | Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:52.17] | Now the old king is dead! Long live the king! |
| [00:55.59] | One minute I held the key |
| [00:59.15] | Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:02.12] | And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:06.19] | Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
| [01:10.15] | I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:13.85] | Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:17.13] | Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:20.27] | My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:23.91] | For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:27.77] | Once you go there was never, never an honest word |
| [01:34.20] | That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:50.82] | It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:54.87] | Blew down the doors to let me in. |
| [01:57.83] | Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:01.96] | People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:05.36] | Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:08.90] | For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:11.73] | Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:16.00] | Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:19.73] | I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [02:23.39] | Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:26.67] | Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:30.66] | My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:33.50] | For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:37.05] | I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:40.31] | Never an honest word |
| [02:43.59] | But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:15.82] | I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [03:18.99] | Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:22.29] | Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:25.90] | My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:29.40] | For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:32.94] | I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:35.97] | Never an honest word |
| [03:39.25] | But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:42.64] |
