[00:03.06]I used to rule the world
[00:08.00]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:13.50]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:18.83]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:31.59]I used to roll the dice
[00:36.37]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:40.58]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:45.33]Now the old king is dead
[00:47.57]Long live the king
[00:48.95]One minute I held the key
[00:53.82]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:57.18]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:02.52]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.65]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[01:14.26]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:18.50]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:22.86]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:27.20]For some reason I can't explain
[01:31.27]Once you go there was never
[01:35.01]Never an honest word
[01:39.74]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:45.19]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:50.45]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:54.04]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:59.43]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:03.32]Revolutionaries wait
[02:07.96]For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.69]I'm just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:17.16]Oh who would ever want to be king
[02:21.06]Oh oh oh Oh oh oh
[02:29.79]Oh oh oh Oh oh oh
[02:38.52]Never an honest word
[02:43.12]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:47.22]Never an honest word
[02:51.89]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:56.02]Never an honest word
[03:00.49]But that was when I ruled the world
