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 hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries on the foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you're gone there is never, never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world I used to rule the days Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd was singing Now the old king is dead, lonely the king One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castle stand Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries on the foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you're gone there is never, never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world Thanks for watching!
