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