[Intro][Primeira Parte]I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the morning and I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to ownI used to roll the diceFeel the fear in my enemy's eyesListen as the crowd would singNow the old king is dead!Long live the king![Pré-Refrão 1]One minute I held the keyNext the walls were closed on meAnd I discovered that my castles standUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand[Refrão 1]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword, and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explain[Próxima Parte]Once you go there was neverNever an honest wordThat was when I ruled the world[Segunda Parte]It was the wicked and wild windBlew down the doors to let me inShattered windows and the sound of drumsPeople couldn't believe what I'd become[Pré-Refrão 2]Revolutionaries waitFor my head on a silver plateJust a puppet on a lonely stringOh who would ever want to be king?[Refrão 2][Próxima Parte][Refrão]I know Saint Peter won't call my nameNever an honest wordBut that was when I ruled the world[Próxima Parte][Refrão 2][Próxima Parte][Refrão] (repetir)
