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