[00:14.44] I used to rule the world
[00:18.69] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:21.87] Now in the morning, I sleep alone
[00:26.92] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:46.31] I used to roll the dice
[00:50.83] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:54.54] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:59.06] Now the old king is dead, long live the king
[01:02.52] One minute, I held the key
[01:07.03] Next the walls were closed on me
[01:09.95] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:15.00] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:19.51] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
[01:23.77] Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
[01:27.75] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:31.46] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:35.71] For some reason, I can't explain
[01:39.44] Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
[01:47.14] And that was when I ruled the world
[02:06.27] It was a wicked and wild wind
[02:11.04] Blew down the doors to let me in
[02:14.23] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:19.28] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:23.00] Revolutionaries wait
[02:27.51] For my head on a silver plate
[02:30.44] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:35.21] Oh, who would ever want to be king?
[02:40.00] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
[02:43.98] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:47.96] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:51.69] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:55.94] For some reason, I can't explain
[02:59.65] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:03.37] Never an honest word
[03:07.36] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:26.47] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:30.46] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:34.45] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:38.42] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:42.41] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:44.00] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
[03:47.99] Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
[03:51.97] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:55.69] My missionaries in a foreign field
[04:00.21] For some reason I can't explain
[04:03.93] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[04:07.64] Never an honest word
[04:11.37] But that was when I ruled the world
