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 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 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
[Chorus 1]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-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'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
[Verse 2]
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'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?
[Chorus 2]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-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 Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[Outro]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-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 Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Sada ujutro spavam sama
Sweep ulice sam da posjeduju
Nekada sam kockice, osjeti strah u očima mog neprijatelja
Poslušajte kako publiku će pjevati
Sada je stari kralj je mrtav, živeo kralj
U jednom trenutku Držao sam ključ
Sljedeći zidovi su bili zatvoreni na mene
I otkrio sam da mi dvoraca stajati
Nakon stubovi soli i stubova pijeska
[Chorus 1]
Čujem Jerusalem zvona a-zvona
Roman Konjica horova pevaju
Budi mi ogledalo, moj mač i štit
Moji misionari u stranoj polju
Iz nekog razloga ne mogu objasniti
Jednom kada ste otišli nikada nije bilo
Nikada iskrena riječ
I to je bilo kad sam je vladala svetom
[Verse 2]
To je bio zli i divlji vjetar
Je srušio vrata da me pusti u
Razbio prozore i zvuk bubnjeva
Ljudi nije mogao vjerovati što sam postao
revolucionari čekati
Za glavu na srebrnom pločom
Samo marioneta na usamljenoj string
Oh ko bi ikada želim biti kralj?
[Chorus 2]
Čujem Jerusalem zvona a-zvona
Roman Konjica horova pevaju
Budi mi ogledalo, moj mač i štit
Moji misionari u stranoj polju
Iz nekog razloga ne mogu objasniti
Znam Saint Peter neće zvati moje ime
Nikada iskrena riječ
Ali to je bilo kad sam je vladala svetom
[Outro]
Čujem Jerusalem zvona a-zvona
Roman Konjica horova pevaju
Budi mi ogledalo, moj mač i štit
Moji misionari u stranoj polju
Iz nekog razloga ne mogu objasniti
Znam Saint Peter neće zvati moje ime
Nikada iskrena riječ
Ali to je bilo kad sam je vladala svetom
