[00:12.59] I used to rule the world
[00:16.58] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.30] Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:23.28] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:40.23] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.47] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:47.14] Listened as the crowd would sing,
[00:51.38] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:54.50] One minute I held the key
[00:57.96] Next the walls were closed on me
[01:00.87] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.12] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.10] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:12.55] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.01] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:19.46] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:22.92] For some reason I can't explain
[01:26.37] Once you'd gone there was never
[01:29.62] Never an honest word
[01:33.01] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:49.74] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:53.52] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:56.45] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.23] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.15] Revolutionaries wait
[02:07.87] For my head on a silver plate
[02:10.79] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:14.77] Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:18.51] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:22.16] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:25.62] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.07] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:32.79] For some reason I can't explain
[02:35.98] I know St. Peter won't call my name
[02:39.60] Never an honest word
[02:42.66] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:59.09] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]
[03:14.76] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:18.01] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:21.41] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:24.85] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.30] For some reason I can't explain
[03:31.76] I know St. Peter won't call my name
[03:34.94] Never an honest word
[03:38.66] But that was when I ruled the world
