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