Intro :
.
.
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..
Int.
.
.
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 cas..tles stand..
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand..
Reff I :
i hear jerusalem bells are 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 ho..nest word..
that was when i ruled the world..
Musik :
.
.
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
revolutiona..ries wait..
for my head on a silver plate
just a puppet on a lo..nely string..
oh, who would ever want to be king..
Reff II :
i hear jerusalem bells are 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 ho..nest word..
but that was when i ruled the world..
Int.
.
..
(ooo oo.. oh..)
(ooo oo.. oh..)
(ooo oo.. oh..)
(ooo oo.. oh..)
Reff III :
hear jerusalem bells are ringing
(ooo oo.. oh..)
roman cavalry choirs are singing
(ooo oo.. oh..)
be my mirror, my sword, and shield
(ooo oo.. oh..)
my missionaries in a foreign field..
(ooo oo.. oh..)
for some reason i can’t explain
(ooo oo.. oh..)
i know saint peter won’t call my name
(ooo oo.. oh..)
never an ho..nest word..
but that was when i ruled the world..
