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 |

Next the walls were closed on me Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes And I discovered that my castles stand Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key I used to roll the dice |

Never an honest word Once you go there was never And that was when I ruled the world Roman Cavalry choirs are singing My missionaries in a foreign field I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Be my mirror, my sword and shield For some reason I can't explain |

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 Never an honest word Roman Cavalry choirs are singing I know Saint Peter won't call my name Be my mirror, my sword and shield |
