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