[00:01.110]I used to rule the world
[00:04.260]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:07.340]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:11.920]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:30.590]I used to roll the dice
[00:34.570]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:37.940]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:42.120]“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
[00:45.890]One minute I held the keys
[00:49.640]Next the doors were closed on me
[00:52.860]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:57.380]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[01:01.580]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:05.590]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:09.340]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:13.340]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:17.260]For some reason I can't explain
[01:20.690]Once you go there was never
[01:24.120]Never an honest word
[01:27.820]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:46.520]It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:51.110]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:54.320]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:58.790]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:02.550]Revolutionaries wait
[02:06.470]For my head on a silver plate
[02:09.460]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:13.840]Oh who would ever wanna be king?
[02:19.970]I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:24.430]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:28.240]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:32.280]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:36.550]For some reason I can't explain
[02:39.980]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:43.340]Never an honest word
[02:47.260]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:23.040]For some reason I can't explain
[03:26.010]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:29.630]Never an honest word
[03:33.220]But that was when I ruled the world
