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