[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]
