text: 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 enemys 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 and shield
  My missionaries in a foreign field
  For some reason I cant explain
  Once you go there was never
  Never an honest word
  And 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 couldnt believe what Id 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 a-ringing
  Roman cavalry choirs are singing
  Be my mirror, my sword and shield
  My missionaries in a foreign field
  For some reason I cant explain
  I know Saint Peter wont call my name
  Never an honest word
  But that was when I ruled the world
  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 cant explain
  I know Saint Peter wont call my name
  Never an honest word
  But that was when I ruled the world
