[00:06.03]I used to rule the world
[00:09.74]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:12.22]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:16.47]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:33.50]I used to roll the dice
[00:37.55]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:40.64]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:44.53]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:47.52]One minute I held the key
[00:51.37]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:54.09]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:58.35]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:02.20]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:05.74]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:09.22]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:12.61]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:16.04]For some reason I can not explain
[01:19.49]Once you go there was never
[01:26.01]Never an honest word
[01:26.37]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:43.22]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:47.07]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:49.70]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:54.15]People could not believe what I'd become
[01:57.17]Revolutionaries Wait
[02:00.97]For my head on a silver plate
[02:03.65]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:07.95]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:11.60]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:15.34]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:18.72]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:22.06]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:25.71]For some reason I can not explain
[02:29.09]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:32.18]Never an honest word
[02:35.62]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:52.18](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[03:07.27]Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:10.81]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:14.15]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:17.54]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:21.08]For some reason I can not explain
[03:24.42]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:27.45]Never an honest word
[03:31.00]But that was when I ruled the world
