	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 are 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 are 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
	I hear Jerusalem bells are 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
