1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,000 I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word, now in the mornin' I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own. 2 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:55,000 I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes, listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king's dead, long live the king 3 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:10,000 One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me and I discovered that my castle stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 4 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:24,000 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman Catholic choirs are singing, be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in the foreign field 5 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:38,000 For some reason I can't explain, once you've gone there was never, never an honest word, that was when I ruled the world 6 00:01:40,000 --> 00:02:05,000 It was the wicked and wild wind, blew down the doors to let me in, shattered windows and the sound of drums, people couldn't believe what I'd become 7 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Revolutionaries waitin' for my head on a silver plate, just a puppet on a lonely string, oh, who would ever want to be king? 8 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:34,000 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman Catholic choirs are singing, be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in the foreign field 9 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:48,000 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 10 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:23,000 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman Catholic choirs are singing, be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in the foreign field
