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