I used to rule the world |
02 |
Seas would rise when I gave the word |
|
Now in the morning, I sleep alone |
03 |
Now in the morning I sleep alone |
04 |
Sweep the streets I used to own |
05 |
|
06 |
I used to roll the dice |
07 |
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes |
08 |
Listen as the crowd would sing |
|
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king! |
09 |
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" |
10 |
|
11 |
One minute I held the key |
12 |
Next the walls were closed on me |
13 |
And I discovered that my castles stand |
14 |
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand |
15 |
|
16 |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
17 |
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing |
18 |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
19 |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
20 |
|
21 |
For some reason I can't explain |
22 |
Once you go there was never, |
23 |
never a honest word |
24 |
And that was when I ruled the world |
25 |
|
26 |
It was a wicked and wild wind |
27 |
Blew down the doors to let me in |
28 |
Shattered windows and the sound of drums |
29 |
People couldn't believe what I'd become |
30 |
|
31 |
Revolutionaries wait |
32 |
For my head on a silver plate |
33 |
Just a puppet on a lonely string |
34 |
Oh, who would ever want to be king? |
35 |
|
36 |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
37 |
Roman Calvary choirs are singing |
38 |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
39 |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
40 |
|
41 |
For some reason I can't explain |
42 |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
43 |
Never an honest word |
44 |
But that was when I ruled the world |
45 |
|
46 |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
47 |
|
48 |
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing |
49 |
Roman Calvary choirs are singing |
50 |
Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
51 |
My missionaries in a foreign field |
52 |
|
53 |
For some reason I can't explain |
54 |
I know Saint Peter won't call my name |
55 |
Never an honest word |
56 |
But that was when I ruled the world |
