[00:13.28]I used to rule the world
[00:16.90]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.90]Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:23.84]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:41.54]I used to roll the dice
[00:44.92]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.14]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:52.00]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:55.03]One minute I held the key
[00:58.67]Next the walls were closed on me
[01:02.28]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:06.16]Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand
[01:09.73]
[01:10.09]I hear Jerusalem's bells' ringing
[01:13.23]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.53]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:19.98]My issionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.38]For some reason I can not explain
[01:27.14]Once you know there was never, never an honest word
[01:33.78]That was when I ruled the world
[01:50.53](Ohhh)
[01:50.98]
[01:51.17]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:54.47]Blew down the doors to let me in.
[01:57.50]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.39]People could not believe what I'd become
[02:04.77]Revolutionaries Wait
[02:07.11]For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.39]Just a puppet on a string lonely
[02:15.40]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:19.33]
[02:19.58]I hear Jerusalem's bells' ringing
[02:22.58]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.11]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:29.64]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:32.86]For some reason I can not explain
[02:36.48]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[02:39.86]Never an honest word
[02:43.62]And that was when I ruled the world
[02:47.27](Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[02:53.54]
[03:15.03]I hear Jerusalem's bells' ringing
[03:18.38]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:21.91]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:25.16]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.61]For some reason I can not explain
[03:32.05]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:35.49]Never an honest word
