| [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] |
|
