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