I used to rule the world
seas would rice when I gave the world
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
fell the fear in my enemy´s eyes
listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead. Long live the king""
One minute I held the key
next the walls were closed on me
and I discovered that my castles stand
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
roman cavalry choirs are singing
be my mirror my sword and shield
my missionaires in a foreign field
for some reason I can´t explain
once you go there was never never an honest word
that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
blew down the doors to let me in
shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn´t believe what I´d become
Revolutionaires wait
for my head on a silver plate
just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaires in a foreign field
for some reason I can´t explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
but that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
my missionaires in a foreign field
for some reason I can´t explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
but that was when I ruled the world
