LYRICS
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when
I gave the word
Now in the morning,
I sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in
my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old king is dead,
long live the king
One minute, I held the key
Next the walls were
closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a-ringin'
Roman Cavalry
choirs are singin'
Be my mirror,
my sword and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason,
I can't explain
Once you'd gone,
there was never,
never an honest word
And that was when
I ruled the world
It was a wicked
and wild wind
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows and
the sound of drums
People couldn't believe
what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want
to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells
a-ringin'
Roman Cavalry
choirs are singing
Be my mirror,
my sword and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason,
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't
call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when
I ruled the world
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I hear Jerusalem bells
a-ringin'
Roman Cavalry choirs
are singin'
Be my mirror,
my sword and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't
call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when
I ruled the world
