[00:07.290]I used to rule the world [00:09.298]Seas would rise when I gave the word [00:11.789]Now in the morning I sleep alone [00:17.390]Sweep the streets I used to own [00:27.627]I used to roll the dice [00:31.778]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes [00:35.638]Listen as the crowd would sing: [00:39.788]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" [00:43.698]One minute I held the key [00:46.898]Next the walls were closed on me [00:50.380]And I discovered that my castles stand [00:54.688]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand [01:06.974]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing [01:11.382]Roman Calvary choirs are singing [01:14.230]Be my mirror my sword and shield [01:19.293]My missionaries in a foreign field [01:21.882]For some reason I can't explain [01:26.072]Once you go there was never, never an honest word [01:32.882]But that was when I ruled the world [01:43.212]It was the wicked and wild wind [01:47.882]Blew down the doors to let me in. [01:50.811]Shattered windows and the sound of drums [01:55.763]People couldn't believe what I'd become [01:59.260]Revolutionaries wait [02:03.272]For my head on a silver plate [02:06.233]Just a puppet on a lonely string [02:13.284]Oh who would ever want to be king? [02:15.272]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing [02:19.092]Roman Calvary choirs are singing [02:22.863]Be my mirror my sword and shield [02:27.283]My missionaries in a foreign field [02:30.683]For some reason I can't explain [02:34.144]I know Saint Peter won't call my name [02:38.283]Never an honest word [02:41.674]But that was when I ruled the world [02:59.602](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) [03:31.252]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing [03:35.322]Roman Calvary choirs are singing [03:38.852]Be my mirror my sword and shield [03:42.652]My missionaries in a foreign field [03:47.375]For some reason I can't explain [03:50.132]I know Saint Peter won't call my name [03:53.673]Never an honest word [03:57.293]But that was when I ruled the world [04:01.842]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing [04:06.183]Roman Calvary choirs are singing [04:09.622]Be my mirror my sword and shield [04:13.293]My missionaries in a foreign field [04:17.141]For some reason I can't explain [04:20.742]I know Saint Peter won't call my name [04:24.173]Never an honest word [04:28.694]But that was when I ruled the world
