INTRO
×2
I used to rulethe world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
INSTRU
×2
I used to rollthe dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the oldking is dead,
long livethe king
One minute, I held the key
Next the wallswere closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
*
* I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Bemy mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Forsome reason, I can't explain
Once you'd gone, there was never
never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
INSTRU
×2
It was a wicked andwild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'dbecome
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Aw, whowould ever wanna be king?
*
* I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Bemy mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Forsome reason, I can't explain
Once you'd gone, there was never
never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
INSTRU
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
*
* I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Bemy mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Forsome reason, I can't explain
Once you'd gone, there was never
never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
