[00:59.340]I used to rule the world /
[01:03.080]Seas would rise when I gave the word /
[01:05.720]Now in the morning I sleep alone /
[01:09.840]Sweep the streets I used to own /
[01:28.170]I used to roll the dice /
[01:31.700]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes /
[01:35.230]Listen as the crowd would sing: /
[01:39.040]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" /“
[01:42.250]One minute I held the key /
[01:45.870]Next the walls were closed on me /
[01:48.960]And I discovered that my castles stand /
[01:52.860]Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand /
[01:56.740]I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /
[02:00.350]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /
[02:03.930]Be my mirror my sword and shield /
[02:07.350]My missionaries in a foreign field /
[02:10.900]For some reason I can not explain /
[02:14.300]Once you gone there was never, never an honest word /
[02:20.760]That was when I ruled the world /
[02:38.280]It was the wicked and wild wind /
[02:42.170]Blew down the doors to let me in. /
[02:45.180]Shattered windows and the sound of drums /
[02:49.130]People could not believe what I'd become /
[02:52.530]Revolutionaries Wait /
[02:55.970]For my head on a silver plate /
[02:59.140]Just a puppet on a lonely string /
[03:03.180]Oh who would ever want to be king? /
[03:07.180]I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /
[03:10.570]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /
[03:14.090]Be my mirror my sword and shield /
[03:17.570]My missionaries in a foreign field /
[03:21.000]For some reason I can not explain /
[03:24.520]I know Saint Peter won't call my name /
[03:28.020]Never an honest word /
[03:30.870]But that was when I ruled the world /
[03:49.060](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[04:03.840]Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /
[04:06.860]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /
[04:10.290]Be my mirror my sword and shield /
[04:13.650]My missionaries in a foreign field /
[04:17.220]For some reason I can not explain /
[04:20.640]I know Saint Peter won't call my name /
[04:24.140]Never an honest word /
[04:27.080]But that was when I ruled the world /
[04:33.270]Oh

I used to rule the world /
Seas would rise when I gave the word /
Now in the morning I sleep alone /
Sweep the streets I used to own /
I used to roll the dice /
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes /

One minute I held the key /

Be my mirror my sword and shield /
My missionaries in a foreign field /
For some reason I can not explain /
Once you gone there was never, never an honest word /
That was when I ruled the world /
It was the wicked and wild wind /
Blew down the doors to let me in. /
Shattered windows and the sound of drums /
People could not believe what I'd become /
Revolutionaries Wait /
For my head on a silver plate /
Just a puppet on a lonely string /
Oh who would ever want to be king? /
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /
Be my mirror my sword and shield /
My missionaries in a foreign field /
For some reason I can not explain /
