| [00:10.870] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:14.550] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:17.270] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:21.440] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:24.550] |
|
| [00:36.730] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:40.480] |
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes |
| [00:43.700] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:47.370] |
"Now the old king is dead! |
| [00:48.810] |
Long live the king!" |
| [00:49.710] |
One minute I held the key |
| [00:53.310] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [00:56.030] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [00:59.920] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:03.940] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:07.220] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:10.010] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:13.470] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:16.640] |
For some reason I can’t explain |
| [01:19.880] |
Once you know there was never, |
| [01:22.510] |
never an honest word |
| [01:25.810] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:28.230] |
|
| [01:40.500] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:44.720] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [01:47.620] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [01:51.950] |
People couldn’t believe what I’d become |
| [01:54.710] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [01:58.160] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:00.560] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:04.600] |
Oh who would ever wanna be king? |
| [02:08.050] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [02:11.350] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:14.830] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:18.170] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:21.740] |
For some reason I can’t explain |
| [02:25.110] |
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name |
| [02:28.420] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:31.100] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [02:32.220] |
|
| [02:44.790] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:00.070] |
Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [03:03.110] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:06.650] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:09.400] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:12.840] |
For some reason I can’t explain |
| [03:15.980] |
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name |
| [03:18.920] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:22.220] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:26.220] |
