[00:16.159]I used to rule the world, [00:20.406]Seas would rise when I gave the word, [00:23.401]Now in the morning I sleep alone, [00:28.406]Sweep the streets I used to own, [00:48.157]I used to roll the dice, [00:52.404]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes, [00:56.155]Listen as the crowd would sing:, [01:00.902]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!", [01:03.909]One minute I held the key, [01:08.160]Next the walls were closed on me, [01:11.655]And I discovered that my castles stand, [01:16.413]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand, [01:20.906]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, [01:25.157]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing, [01:28.907]Be my mirror my sword and shield, [01:32.911]My missionaries in a foreign field, [01:36.905]For some reason I can't explain, [01:41.156]Once you go there was never, never an honest word, [01:48.656]That was when I ruled the world, [02:09.659]It was the wicked and wild wind, [02:14.405]Blew down the doors to let me in.[02:17.657]Shattered windows and the sound of drums, [02:22.405]People couldn't believe what I'd become, [02:25.912]Revolutionaries Wait, [02:30.404]For my head on a silver plate, [02:33.911]Just a puppet on a lonely string, [02:38.162]Oh who would ever want to be king?[02:42.908]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, [02:46.660]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing, [02:50.908]Be my mirror my sword and shield, [02:54.913]My missionaries in a foreign field, [02:58.907]For some reason I can't explain, [03:02.913]I know Saint Peter won't call my name, [03:06.664]Never an honest word, [03:10.414]But that was when I ruled the world, [03:29.406](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh),[03:47.160]Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, [03:51.154]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing, [03:55.413]Be my mirror my sword and shield, [03:58.908]My missionaries in a foreign field, [04:03.159]For some reason I can't explain, [04:06.908]I know Saint Peter won't call my name, [04:10.413]Never an honest word, [04:14.407]But that was when I ruled the world.
