| [00:10.53] |
I hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing |
| [00:14.71] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [00:18.93] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [00:22.97] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [00:31.24] |
|
| [00:42.88] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:47.38] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:50.63] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:55.68] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:59.29] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [01:04.25] |
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes |
| [01:07.40] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [01:12.36] |
“Now the old king is dead! |
| [01:14.42] |
Long live the king!” |
| [01:15.97] |
One minute I held the key |
| [01:20.58] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:24.07] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:29.03] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:33.74] |
I hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing |
| [01:37.85] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:42.06] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [01:46.07] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:50.22] |
For some reason I cannot explain |
| [01:54.67] |
Once you go there was never |
| [01:57.83] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:02.49] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [02:13.25] |
|
| [02:22.44] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [02:27.68] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [02:30.94] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:35.84] |
People could not believe what I’d become |
| [02:39.70] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:44.20] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:47.61] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:52.59] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:56.95] |
I hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing |
| [03:01.46] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:05.66] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [03:09.67] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:13.87] |
For some reason I cannot explain |
| [03:17.98] |
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name |
| [03:21.54] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:25.83] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:30.75] |
|
| [03:47.45] |
Hear Jerusalem’s bells are ringing |
| [03:51.62] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:56.23] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [04:00.08] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
