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