lused 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

lused 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-ringin'

Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason, I can't explain

Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what l'd become

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Aw, who would ever wanna be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'

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

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'

Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' 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
