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 enimies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead
Long life the King
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castle stand
Open pillars of sand
Pillars of salt

I hear jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry quars 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 in a 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 could'nt believe what I'd become
Revolutioneries wait for my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want be the King

I hear jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry quars are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter would call my name
Never in a honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Ohhhhoh
Ohhhhoh
Ohhhhoh
Ohhhhoh

I hear jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry quars are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter would call my name
Never in a honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
