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