[00:12.94] I used to rule the world

[00:16.65] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:19.57] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:23.56] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:40.57] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.56] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:47.74] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:51.73] Now the old king is dead, long live the king

[00:54.65] One minute, I held the key

[00:58.37] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:01.05] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.31] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.30] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'

[01:13.01] Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'

[01:16.47] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:19.66] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.65] For some reason, I can't explain

[01:27.10] Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word

[01:33.48] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:49.68] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:54.20] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:56.86] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.37] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.29] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.27] For my head on a silver plate

[02:10.94] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.19] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:18.90] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'

[02:22.62] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:26.07] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.53] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:32.99] For some reason, I can't explain

[02:36.45] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.37] Never an honest word

[02:42.82] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:59.31] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:02.75] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:06.48] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:09.67] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:13.39] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[03:14.71] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'

[03:18.17] Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'

[03:21.62] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.08] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.79] For some reason I can't explain

[03:31.98] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:35.18] Never an honest word

[03:38.62] But that was when I ruled the world
