I Used To Rule The World
Seas Would Rise When I Gave The Word
Now In The Morning I Sleep Alone
Sweep The Streets I Used To Own

I Used To Roll The Dice
Feel The Fear In My Enemies 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, My 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

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh

Revolutionaries Wait
For My Head On A Silver Plate
Just A Puppet On A Lonely String (Ooooh)
Ah, Who Would Ever Want To Be King?

I Hear Jerusalem Bells A Ringing
Roman Cavalry Choirs Are Singing
Be My Mirror, My Sword, My 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

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh

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
