0:00I used to rule the world
0:04Seas would rise when I gave the word
0:07Now in the mornin' I sleep alone
0:12Sweep the streets I used to own
0:16One minute I held the key
0:20Next the walls were closed on me
0:24And I discovered that my castles stand
0:28Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
0:33I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
0:37Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
0:41Be my mirror my sword and shield
0:45My missionaries in a foreign field
0:49For some reason I can't explain
0:53Once you'd gone there was never
0:56Never an honest word
1:00And that was when I ruled the world
1:04It was a wicked and wild wind
1:08Blew down the doors to let me in
1:11Shattered windows and the sound of drums
1:17People couldn't believe what I'd become
1:20One minute I held the key
1:24Next the walls were closed on me
1:28And I discovered that my castles stand
1:32Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
1:37I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
1:41Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
1:45Be my mirror my sword and shield
1:49My missionaries in a foreign field
1:53For some reason I can't explain
1:57Once you'd gone there was never
2:00Never an honest word
2:04And that was when I ruled the world
2:24Never an honest word
2:28But that was when I ruled the world
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the mornin' I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own 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 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman cavalry choirs are singin' 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 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 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 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman cavalry choirs are singin' 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 Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world
