| 01 |
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 |
