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