00:00One, two, three, yup!
00:30I used to rule the world
00:34Seas would rise when I gave the word
00:37Now in the morning I sleep alone
00:41Sweep the streets I used to own
00:44I used to roll the dice
01:02Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
01:05And listen as the crowd would sing
01:09Now the old king is dead, long live the king
01:11The minute I held the key
01:15Next the walls were closed on me
01:18And I discovered that my castle stand
01:22Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
01:26I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
01:30Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
01:33Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
01:37My missionaries in a foreign field
01:39For some reason I can't explain
01:44See you gone, there was never, never an honest word
01:50That was when I ruled the world
01:53It was a wicked and wild wind
02:11Blew down the doors to let me in
02:14The shadow windows and the sound of drums
02:18People couldn't believe what I'd become
02:22Revolutionaries swayed
02:25Hold my hand on a silver plate
02:28I'm just a puppet on a lonely string
02:32Oh, who would ever want to be king?
02:36Now I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
02:40Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
02:43Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
02:47My missionaries in a foreign field
02:50For some reason I can't explain
02:54I know St. Peter will call my name
02:57Never an honest word
03:00That was when I ruled the world
03:18I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
03:22Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
03:26Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
03:30My missionaries in a foreign field
03:34For some reason I can't explain
03:38See you gone, there was never, never an honest word
03:43That was when I ruled the world
03:47For some reason I can't explain
03:50I know St. Peter will call my name
03:53Never an honest word
03:56That was when I ruled the world
