1
I used to rule the world
2
Seas would rise when I gave the word
3
Now in the morning I sleep alone
4
Sweep the streets I used to own
5
I used to roll the dice
6
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
7
Listen as the crowd would sing
8
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king!"
9
One minute I held the key
10
Next the walls were closed on me
11
And I discovered that my castle stands
12
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand
13
I hear Jerusalem bells a'ringing
14
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
15
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
16
My missionaries in a foreign field
17
For some reason I can't explain
18
Once you'd gone it was never,
19
never an honest word
20
That was when I ruled the world
21
It was the wicked and wild wind
22
Blew down the doors to let me in
23
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
24
People couldn't believe what I'd become
25
Revolutionaries wait
26
For my head on a silver plate
27
Just a puppet on a lonely string
28
Oh...who would ever wanna be king
29
I hear Jerusalem bells were ringing
30
Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
31
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
32
My missionaries in a foreign field
33
For some reason I can't explain
34
I know St. Peter won't call my name
35
Never an honest word
36
But that was when I ruled the world
37
(Whoa...) Here Jerusalem bells were ringing
38
(Whoa...) Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
39
(Whoa...) Be my mirror, my sword and shield
40
(Whoa...) My missionaries in a foreign field
41
(Whoa...) For some reason I can't explain
42
(Whoa...) I know St. Peter won't call my name
43
Never an honest word
44
But that was when I ruled the world
