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 enemy's 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 stand
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 there 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 want to be king?
29
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
30
Roman Cavalry choirs are 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 Saint Peter won't call my name
35
Never an honest word
36
But that was when I ruled the world
37
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
38
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
39
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
40
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
41
My missionaries in a foreign field
42
For some reason I can't explain
43
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
44
Never an honest word
45
But that was when I ruled the world
46
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
