I use to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castle stand
Upon pillars of salt and pilliars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a forein field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the word
Oh Woah
It was a wicked and wild win
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People coudn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries 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 missionaries in a forein field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And 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 missionaries in a forein field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
