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