I used to rule the world,

A

Fm

Seas would rise when I gave the word.

Now in the morning I sweep alone,

A

A

Fm

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 castles stand

Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand.

     I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,

A

Fm

     Roman Cavalry choirs are singing:

D

Esus4

     „Be my mirror, my sword and shield,

A

Fm

     My missionaries in a foreign field“.

D

Esus4

   For some reason I can't explain,

   Once you go, there was never,

D

Esus4

   Never an honest word

   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.

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate.

Just a puppet on a lonely string,

Oh who would ever want to be king?

   For some reason I can't explain,

   I know St. Peter won't call my name.

   Never an honest word

   That was when I ruled the world.

   For some reason I can't explain,

   I know St. Peter won't call my name.

   Never an honest word

   That was when I ruled the world.
