Now in the morning I sleep alone
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Sweep the streets I used to own
 
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I used to roll the dice
One minute I held the key
And I discovered that my castles stand
Next the walls were closed on me
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
 
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Never an honest word
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Once you go there was never
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
For some reason I can't explain
And that was when I ruled the world
My missionaries in a foreign field
 
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Just a puppet on a lonely string
For my head on a silver plate
Blew down the doors to let me in
Oh who would ever want to be king?
It was the wicked and wild wind
Revolutionaries wait
 
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
For some reason I can't explain
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Never an honest word
My missionaries in a foreign field
But that was when I ruled the world
 
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
But that was when I ruled the world
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Never an honest word
