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 a dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened 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-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, my sheild
My missionaries in a foreign feild
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
oh oh oh oh ohh oh 5x
Hear Jerusalem bells -ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, my sheild
My missionaries in a foreign feild
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
