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