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

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 salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'

Roman cavalry choirs are singin'

Be my mirror my sword my shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you had gone there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh

Oh-oh-oh

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

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Oh-oh

But that was when I ruled the world

Oh-oh

But that was when I ruled the world
