1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,420
I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word

2
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:27,039
Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:47,630
I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

4
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:54,590
Listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king is dead, long live the king

5
00:00:54,590 --> 00:01:01,270
One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me

6
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:08,870
And I discovered that my castle stand, upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

7
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:16,209
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman cavalry choirs a-singing

8
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:23,150
Be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in a foreign field

9
00:01:23,150 --> 00:01:33,010
For some reason I can't explain, once you've gone it was never, never an honest word

10
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:36,390
That was when I ruled the world

11
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:53,689
It was the wicked and wild wind

12
00:01:53,689 --> 00:01:56,870
Blew down the doors to let me in

13
00:01:56,870 --> 00:02:00,549
Shattered windows and the sound of drums

14
00:02:00,549 --> 00:02:04,310
People couldn't believe what I'd become

15
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:07,750
Revolutionaries wait

16
00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:10,810
For my head on a silver plate

17
00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:14,669
Just a puppet on a lonely string

18
00:02:14,669 --> 00:02:18,210
Or who would ever want to be king

19
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:22,430
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

20
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:25,750
Roman cavalry choirs a-singing

21
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:29,189
Be my mirror, my sword and shield

22
00:02:29,189 --> 00:02:32,689
My missionaries in a foreign field

23
00:02:32,689 --> 00:02:36,069
For some reason I can't explain

24
00:02:36,069 --> 00:02:39,449
I know St. Peter won't call my name

25
00:02:39,449 --> 00:02:42,569
Ever an honest word

26
00:02:42,569 --> 00:02:46,330
But that was when I ruled the world

27
00:02:46,330 --> 00:03:38,259
Call my name, never an honest word

28
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:41,960
But that was when I ruled the world
