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