[00:13.71] I used to rule the world

[00:17.08] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:20.11] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:24.11] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:41.61] I used to roll the dice

[00:45.34] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:48.37] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:52.10] Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

[00:55.35] One minute I held the key

[00:59.11] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:01.84] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:06.10] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:10.10] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:13.37] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.85] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:23.85] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:24.60] For some reason I can't explain

[01:27.38] Once you go there was never, never an honest word

[01:33.61] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:50.85] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:54.61] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:57.35] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.63] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:05.09] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.85] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.34] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.87] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:19.60] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:22.87] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[02:26.35] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:30.11] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.35] For some reason I can't explain

[02:37.12] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:40.85] Never an honest word

[02:43.61] But that was when I ruled the world

[03:00.64] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:03.60] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:06.63] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:10.33] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:13.85] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:15.59] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[03:18.59] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[03:22.11] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.13] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.87] For some reason I can't explain

[03:32.37] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:35.60] Never an honest word

[03:38.89] But that was when I ruled the world
