00:00I used to rule the world, the seas would rise when I gave the word
00:17Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own
00:30I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
00:43Listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king's dead, long live the king
00:49One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me
00:56And I discovered that my castle's down, upon pillars of sun, pillars of sand
01:02I hear terrorists and the bells are ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing
01:09Fever, mirror, my sword is healed, my missionaries in a foreign field
01:15For some reason I can't explain, once you've gone it was never, never an oldest word
01:24And that was when I ruled the world
01:28It was a wicked and wild wind, blew down the doors to let me in
01:46Shattered windows and the sound of drums, people couldn't believe what I'd become
01:53And revolutionaries wait, for my head on a silver plate
01:59Just a puppet on a lonely string, our crew would ever want to be king
02:05I hear terrorists and the bells are ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing
02:12Be my mirror, my sword is healed, my missionaries in a foreign field
02:19For some reason I can't explain, I know St. Peter won't call my name
02:25Never an oldest word, but that was when I ruled the world
02:31Oh, 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, 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, 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, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
03:01The Cavalry Choirs are singing.
03:03Me, my men, I'm a soldier.
03:06I'm missionaries in a foreign field.
03:10For some reason I can't explain.
03:13I know St. Peter won't call my name.
03:16Never an honest word.
03:18But that was when I ruled the world.
03:31I know St. Peter won't call my name.
