[00:13.19] I used to rule the world [00:16.83] Seas would rise when I gave the word [00:19.53] Now in the morning, I sleep alone [00:23.99] Sweep the streets I used to own [00:28.32] [00:40.69] I used to roll the dice [00:44.70] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes [00:47.90] Listened as the crowd would sing [00:51.76] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king" [00:54.83] One minute I held the key [00:58.66] Next, the walls were closed on me [01:01.42] And I discovered that my castles stand [01:05.55] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand [01:09.46] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing [01:13.28] Roman cavalry choirs are singing [01:16.67] Be my mirror, my sword and shield [01:20.16] My missionaries in a foreign field [01:23.57] For some reason, I can't explain [01:27.07] Once you'd gone, there was never [01:29.83] Never an honest word [01:33.62] And that was when I ruled the world [01:37.86] [01:49.95] It was a wicked and wild wind [01:54.24] Blew down the doors to let me in [01:57.29] Shattered windows and the sound of drums [02:01.46] People couldn't believe what I'd become [02:04.80] Revolutionaries wait [02:08.42] For my head on a silver plate [02:11.28] Just a puppet on a lonely string (mmm, mmm) [02:15.44] Oh, who would ever want to be king? [02:19.19] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing [02:22.95] Roman cavalry choirs are singing [02:26.24] Be my mirror, my sword and shield [02:29.68] My missionaries in a foreign field [02:33.28] For some reason, I can't explain [02:36.56] I know Saint Peter won't call my name [02:39.86] Never an honest word [02:42.97] But that was when I ruled the world [02:47.24] [02:59.66] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:03.16] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:06.42] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:10.09] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:13.54] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:15.06] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:18.44] Roman cavalry choirs are singing (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:22.08] Be my mirror, my sword and shield (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:25.34] My missionaries in a foreign field (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:28.93] For some reason, I can't explain (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa) [03:32.44] I know Saint Peter won't call my name [03:35.50] Never an honest word [03:38.78] But that was when I ruled the world [03:42.98] Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm [03:49.73] Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm [03:56.54] Mmm, mmm [03:59.53]
