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