## Songtext

```
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

Verse 2
	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!"

Pre-Chorus
	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 A
	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 go there was never
	Never an honest word
	And that was when I ruled the world

Verse 3
	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

Verse 4
	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 B
	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 Saint Peter won't call my name
	Never an honest word
	But that was when I ruled the world

Interlude

Chorus C
	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 Saint Peter won't call my name
	Never an honest word
	But that was when I ruled the world
