I used to rule the world<br> | |||
Seas would rise when I gave the word<br> | |||
Now in the morning I sleep alone<br> | |||
Sweep the streets I used to own<br> | |||
<br> | |||
I used to roll the dice<br> | |||
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes<br> | |||
Listened as the crowd would sing<br> | |||
Now the old king is dead long live the king<br> | |||
One minute I held the key<br> | |||
Next the walls were closed on me<br> | |||
And I discovered that my castles stand<br> | |||
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand<br> | |||
<br> | |||
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing<br> | |||
Roman cavalry choirs are singing<br> | |||
Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br> | |||
Missionaries in a foreign field<br> | |||
For some reason I can't explain<br> | |||
Once you'd gone there was never<br> | |||
Never an honest word<br> | |||
And that was when I ruled the world<br> | |||
<br> | |||
It was a wicked and wild wind<br> | |||
Blew down the doors to let me in<br> | |||
Shattered windows and the sound of drums<br> | |||
People couldn't believe what I'd become<br> | |||
Revolutionaries wait<br> | |||
For my head on a silver plate<br> | |||
Just a puppet on a lonely string<br> | |||
Oh who would ever want to be king?<br> | |||
<br> | |||
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing<br> | |||
Roman cavalry choirs are singing<br> | |||
Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br> | |||
My missionaries in a foreign field<br> | |||
For some reason I can't explain<br> | |||
I know St Peter won't call my name<br> | |||
Never an honest word<br> | |||
But that was when I ruled the world<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing<br> | |||
Roman cavalry choirs are singing<br> | |||
Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br> | |||
My missionaries in a foreign field<br> | |||
For some reason I can't explain<br> | |||
I know St Peter won't call my name<br> | |||
Never an honest word<br> | |||
But that was when I ruled the world | |||
