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