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
I al matí dormo sol
Escombrar els carrers que solia posseir
Jo solia llençar els daus, sentir la por en els ulls del meu enemic
Escolta mentre la gent cantava
Ara el vell rei ha mort, visca el rei
Un minut jo tenia la clau
A continuació, les parets es van tancar sobre mi
I vaig descobrir que els meus castells
Sobre pilars de sal i pilars de sorra
[Chorus 1]
Sento les campanes de Jerusalem-timbre
cors del Calvari Romà estan cantant
Sigues el meu mirall, la meva espasa i escut
Els meus missioners en un camp estranger
Per alguna raó que no puc explicar
Una vegada que s'havia anat mai va haver
Mai una paraula honesta
I va ser llavors quan jo governava el món
[Vers 2]
Era el vent dolent i salvatge
Va bufar a baix les portes per deixar-me entrar
finestres trencades i el so dels tambors
La gent no podia creure el que m'havia convertit
Els revolucionaris esperen
Pel meu cap en safata de plata
Només un titella en una corda solitària
Oh, qui voldrà ser rei?
[Chorus 2]
Sento les campanes de Jerusalem-timbre
cors del Calvari Romà estan cantant
Sigues el meu mirall, la meva espasa i escut
Els meus missioners en un camp estranger
Per alguna raó que no puc explicar
Jo es que Sant Pere no dirà el meu nom
Mai una paraula honesta
Però així era quan jo governava el món
[Outro]
Sento les campanes de Jerusalem-timbre
cors del Calvari Romà estan cantant
Sigues el meu mirall, la meva espasa i escut
Els meus missioners en un camp estranger
Per alguna raó que no puc explicar
Jo es que Sant Pere no dirà el meu nom
Mai una paraula honesta
Però així era quan jo governava el món
