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