Title: I used to rule the world
1- I used to rule the world
- Seas would rise when I gave the word
- Now in the morning I sleep alone
- Sweep the streets I used to own
- I used to roll the dice
- Feel 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 sandI hear
Jerusalem bells a ringingRoman Cavalry choirs
are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy
missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I
can't explainOnce you go there was neverNever
an honest wordAnd 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 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 ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are
singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy
missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I
can't explainI know Saint Peter won't call my
nameNever an honest wordBut that was when I
ruled the worldI hear Jerusalem bells a
ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are singingBe my
mirror, my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a
foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explainI
know Saint Peter won't call my nameNever an
honest wordBut that was when I ruled the world
