[00:13.42] I used to rule the world

[00:17.15] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:19.80] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:24.06] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:41.50] I used to roll the dice

[00:45.08] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:48.30] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:52.03] Now the old king is dead, long live the king

[00:55.21] One minute, I held the key

[00:58.83] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:01.62] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.88] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.90] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:13.45] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.92] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:20.39] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:24.11] For some reason, I can't explain

[01:27.57] Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word

[01:33.81] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:50.46] It was the wicked and wild wind

[01:54.58] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:57.51] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.76] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.83] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.54] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.49] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.47] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:19.71] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:23.03] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[02:26.49] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.95] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.54] For some reason, I can't explain

[02:36.73] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:40.43] Never an honest word

[02:43.37] But that was when I ruled the world

[03:00.10] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:03.43] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:06.90] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:10.34] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:13.69] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:15.41] Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[03:18.61] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[03:22.32] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.66] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:29.09] For some reason I can't explain

[03:32.57] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:35.75] Never an honest word

[03:39.22] But that was when I ruled the world
