[00:03.35] I used to rule the world [00:07.89] Seas would rise when I gave the word [00:12.93] Now in the morning I sleep alone [00:18.08] Sweep the streets I used to own [00:30.56] I used to roll the dice [00:35.65] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes [00:39.53] Listened as the crowd would sing [00:44.75] He said "The old king is dead! Long live the king!" [00:48.04] One minute I held the key [00:52.90] Next the walls were closed on me [00:56.46] And I discovered that my castles stand [01:02.07] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand [01:08.72] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing [01:13.08] Roman cavalry choirs are singing [01:17.45] Be my mirror, my sword and shield [01:21.72] My missionaries in a foreign field [01:26.03] For some reason I can't explain [01:30.41] Once you'd gone there was never [01:35.07] Never an honest word [01:39.79] And that was when I ruled the world [01:44.69] It was a wicked and wild wind [01:50.59] Blew down the doors to let me in [01:53.72] Shattered windows and the sound of drums [01:59.13] People couldn't believe what I'd become [02:03.18] Revolutionaries wait [02:07.95] For my head on a silver plate [02:11.34] Just a puppet on a lonely string [02:16.90] Oh who would ever want to be king? [02:20.29] Oh oh oh, oh [02:25.12] Oh oh oh, oh [02:29.38] Oh oh oh, oh [02:33.95] Oh oh oh, oh [02:38.12] Never an honest word [02:42.41] That was when I ruled the world [02:46.72] Never an honest word [02:51.39] That was when I ruled the world [02:55.47] Never an honest word [03:00.55] That was when I ruled the world [03:05.94]
