Lyrics

[00:14.070] I used to rule the world
[00:17.760] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:20.410] Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:20.630]
[00:24.670] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:33.980] I used to roll the dice
[00:39.440] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:41.340] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:47.020] Now the old king is dead Long live the king!"
[00:47.950] One minute I held the key
[00:51.650] Next the walls were closed on me
[00:54.390] And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:58.620] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:01.540]
[01:02.380] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:06.090] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:09.580] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:13.020] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:16.510] For some reason I can't explain
[01:20.020] Once you go there was never, never an honest word
[01:26.640] That was when I ruled the world
[01:30.210]
[01:43.040] It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:47.290] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:50.110] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:54.510] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:57.600] Revolutionaries wait
[02:01.350] For my head on a silver plate
[02:04.270] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:08.340] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:12.160] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:15.760] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:19.160] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:22.590] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:26.010] For some reason I can't explain
[02:29.540] I know Saint Peter will call my name
[02:32.670] Never an honest word
[02:36.070] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:39.930]
[02:52.750] (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:07.920] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:11.320] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:14.820] Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:18.170] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:21.670] For some reason I can't explain
[03:25.220] I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:28.380] Never an honest word
[03:31.710] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:35.050]
[03:35.730] Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
[03:53.450]
