[00:13.18] I used to rule the world [00:16.89] Seas would rise when I gave the word [00:19.50] Now in the morning, I sleep alone [00:23.93] Sweep the streets I used to own [00:27.97] [00:40.66] I used to roll the dice [00:44.76] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes [00:47.99] Listened as the crowd would sing [00:51.72] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king" [00:54.88] One minute I held the key [00:58.68] Next, the walls were closed on me [01:01.46] And I discovered that my castles stand [01:05.53] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand [01:09.43] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing [01:13.24] Roman cavalry choirs are singing [01:16.67] Be my mirror, my sword and shield [01:20.15] My missionaries in a foreign field [01:23.59] For some reason, I can't explain [01:27.18] Once you'd gone, there was never [01:29.83] Never an honest word [01:33.66] And that was when I ruled the world [01:37.01] [01:49.90] It was a wicked and wild wind [01:54.27] Blew down the doors to let me in [01:57.28] Shattered windows and the sound of drums [02:01.41] People couldn't believe what I'd become [02:04.77] Revolutionaries wait [02:08.41] For my head on a silver plate [02:11.25] Just a puppet on a lonely string [02:15.44] Oh, who would ever want to be king? [02:19.15] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing [02:22.98] Roman cavalry choirs are singing [02:26.28] Be my mirror, my sword and shield [02:29.64] My missionaries in a foreign field [02:33.27] For some reason, I can't explain [02:36.57] I know Saint Peter won't call my name [02:39.88] Never an honest word [02:42.93] But that was when I ruled the world [02:46.88] [03:15.13] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing [03:18.48] Roman cavalry choirs are singing [03:22.06] Be my mirror, my sword and shield [03:25.32] My missionaries in a foreign field [03:28.97] For some reason, I can't explain [03:32.42] I know Saint Peter won't call my name [03:35.56] Never an honest word [03:38.70] But that was when I ruled the world [03:41.63]
