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