I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sweep alone Sweep the streets I used to own 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 castles 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 in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain Once you know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh) It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People could not 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? 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 not explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh"
Tell you I set you apart. Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions, Oh, lets go back to the start. Running in circles, coming in tales, Heads are a science apart. Nobody said it was easy, It's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, No-one ever said it would be this hard, Oh take me back to the start. I was just guessing at numbers and figures, Pulling your puzzles apart. Questions of science, science and progress, Do not speak as loud as my heart. And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, Oh and I rush to the start. Running in circles, chasing tails, And coming back as we are. Nobody said it was easy, oh its such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, No-one ever said it would be so hard. Im going back to the start. oh, ooooo, ah, ooooo, oh, ooooo, oh, ooooo
