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