[00:12.82] |
I used to rule the world |
[00:16.95] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
[00:19.82] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
[00:23.96] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
[00:27.46] |
|
[00:41.10] |
I used to roll the dice |
[00:44.54] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
[00:47.82] |
Listened as the crowd would sing, |
[00:51.42] |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
[00:54.83] |
One minute I held the key |
[00:58.53] |
Next the walls were closed on me |
[01:01.26] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
[01:05.51] |
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
[01:09.07] |
|
[01:09.63] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
[01:13.02] |
Roman cavalry choirs are singing |
[01:16.54] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
[01:19.97] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
[01:23.43] |
For some reason I can't explain |
[01:26.88] |
Once you'd gone there was never |
[01:29.62] |
Never an honest word |
[01:33.33] |
And that was when I ruled the world |
[01:36.62] |
|
[01:49.75] |
It was a wicked and wild wind |
[01:54.27] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
[01:57.21] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
[02:01.32] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
[02:04.76] |
Revolutionaries wait |
[02:08.37] |
For my head on a silver plate |
[02:11.10] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
[02:15.48] |
Oh who would ever want to be king? |
[02:19.08] |
|
[02:19.34] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
[02:22.78] |
Roman cavalry choirs are singing |
[02:26.27] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
[02:29.62] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
[02:33.08] |
For some reason I can't explain |
[02:36.49] |
I know St. Peter won't call my name |
[02:39.68] |
Never an honest word |
[02:42.92] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
[02:46.19] |
|
[02:59.26] |
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh |
[03:14.65] |
|
[03:15.00] |
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
[03:18.57] |
Roman cavalry choirs are singing |
[03:21.79] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
[03:25.39] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
[03:28.81] |
For some reason I can't explain |
[03:32.17] |
I know St. Peter won't call my name |
[03:35.31] |
Never an honest word |
[03:38.65] |
But that was when I ruled the |
[03:41.92] |
