| [00:17.209] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:21.698] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:23.659] |
Now in the morning I sweep alone |
| [00:27.819] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:30.999] |
|
| [00:45.259] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:48.779] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:52.690] |
Listen as the crowd would sing: |
| [00:55.879] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
| [00:59.729] |
One minute I held the key |
| [01:00.300] |
|
| [01:02.779] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
| [01:05.579] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [01:09.639] |
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
| [01:13.129] |
|
| [01:13.679] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [01:17.990] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:20.769] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [01:24.109] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:28.189] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:31.490] |
Once you go there was never, never an honest word |
| [01:37.889] |
That was when I ruled the world |
| [01:49.188] |
(Ohhh) |
| [01:51.247] |
|
| [01:54.269] |
It was the wicked and wild wind |
| [01:58.169] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [02:01.249] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [02:05.519] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:08.997] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:12.268] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:15.398] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:20.390] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
| [02:23.558] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [02:28.198] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:30.780] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [02:33.518] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:37.159] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:40.719] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [02:43.748] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:47.880] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:04.298] |
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) |
| [03:19.180] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing |
| [03:19.990] |
|
| [03:22.970] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [03:24.777] |
Be my mirror my sword and shield |
| [03:28.207] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [03:31.937] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:35.978] |
I know Saint Peter will call my name |
| [03:39.970] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:41.867] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:47.497] |
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh |
