Verse 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

Interlude 1
Aah, aah

Verse 2
I used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened 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 sand

Chorus 1
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing. Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield. My missionaries in a foreign 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

Interlude 2 (instr)

Verse 3
It was a 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?

Chorus 2

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing. Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield. My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain. I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word. But that was when I ruled the world

Interlude 3 (instr)
Interlude 4

Chorus 3 = Chorus 2

Coda
Mmm, mmm
