[00:16.04]I used to rule the world
[00:20.67]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:23.93]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:29.18]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:33.73]
[00:41.66]I used to roll the dice
[00:46.25]Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
[00:50.22]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:54.89]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the King!"
[00:58.38]One minute I held the key
[01:03.13]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:06.34]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:11.94]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:16.10]
[01:16.58]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:20.89]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:25.13]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:29.25]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:33.63]For some reason I can not explain
[01:37.88]Once you know there was never, never an honest word
[01:45.88]That was when I ruled the world
[01:51.18]
[02:05.91]It was the wicked and wild wind
[02:11.22]Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:14.59]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:19.83]People could not believe what I'd become
[02:23.67]Revolutionaries wait
[02:28.34]For my head on a silver plate
[02:31.50]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:36.86]Oh who would ever want to be King?
[02:40.01]
[02:41.52]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:45.81]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:50.08]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:54.08]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:58.49]For some reason I can not explain
[03:02.59]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:06.68]Never an honest word
[03:10.65]And that was when I ruled the world
[03:15.62]
[03:49.54]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
[03:53.84]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:58.02]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[04:02.18]My missionaries in a foreign field
[04:06.56]For some reason I can not explain
[04:10.56]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[04:14.59]Never an honest word
[04:18.60]But that was when I ruled the world
[04:26.06]
