| [00:01.110] |
I used to rule the world |
| [00:04.260] |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
| [00:07.340] |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
| [00:11.920] |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
| [00:30.590] |
I used to roll the dice |
| [00:34.570] |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
| [00:37.940] |
Listen as the crowd would sing |
| [00:42.120] |
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!” |
| [00:45.890] |
One minute I held the keys |
| [00:49.640] |
Next the doors were closed on me |
| [00:52.860] |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
| [00:57.380] |
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand |
| [01:01.580] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [01:05.590] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [01:09.340] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [01:13.340] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [01:17.260] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [01:20.690] |
Once you go there was never |
| [01:24.120] |
Never an honest word |
| [01:27.820] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [01:46.520] |
It was a wicked and wild wind |
| [01:51.110] |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
| [01:54.320] |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
| [01:58.790] |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
| [02:02.550] |
Revolutionaries wait |
| [02:06.470] |
For my head on a silver plate |
| [02:09.460] |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
| [02:13.840] |
Oh who would ever wanna be king? |
| [02:19.970] |
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing |
| [02:24.430] |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
| [02:28.240] |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
| [02:32.280] |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
| [02:36.550] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [02:39.980] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [02:43.340] |
Never an honest word |
| [02:47.260] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
| [03:23.040] |
For some reason I can't explain |
| [03:26.010] |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
| [03:29.630] |
Never an honest word |
| [03:33.220] |
But that was when I ruled the world |
