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           
         
I used to roll the dice           
Feel the fear in my enemies' 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 castle stands         
Upon pillars of salt, and 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't explain       
Once you've gone, there was never,       
Never an honest word       
And that was when I ruled the world       
           
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've become       
       
Revolutionaries wait       
For my head on a silver plate       
Just a puppet on a lonely string       
Oh...who would ever wanna 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't explain       
I know St. Peter won't call my name       
Never an honest word       
But that was when I ruled the world       
           
Bridge:           
Whoaaa (x4)           
           
Bridge and Chorus mix:           
(Whoa...) I hear Jerusalem, bells are ringing       
(Whoa...) Roman Cavalry choirs are singing       
(Whoa...) "Be my mirror, my sword and shield       
(Whoa...) My missionaries in a foreign field"       
(Whoa...) For some reason I can't explain       
(Whoa...) I know St. Peter won't call my name       
Never an honest word       
But that was when I ruled the world       
           
Oooh Ooooh Oooh Ooooh... (until fade)
