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