I used to rule the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning
I sweep 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 ringing
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
Once you go there was never
never an honest word
That was when
I ruled the world
It was the 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 ringing
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
ooooo ooooo ooooo
oooooo ooooo
I hear Jerusalem bells
a ringing
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
