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
Tagad no rīta es guļu viens
Slaucīt ielas es izmantoti, lai savu
Es izmantoti, lai roll dice, sajust bailes mana ienaidnieka acīs
Klausieties kā pūlis varētu dziedāt
Tagad vecais karalis ir miris, lai dzīvo karalis
Vienu minūti es tur atslēgu
Nākamais sienām tika slēgta mani
Un es atklāju, ka mana pilis stāvēt
Pēc pīlāriem sāls un pīlāriem smilšu
[Chorus 1]
Es dzirdu Jeruzaleme bells a-zvana
Romiešu kavalērija kori dzied
Esi mans spogulis, mans zobens un vairogs
Mani misionāri ārvalstu jomā
Kādu iemeslu dēļ es nevaru izskaidrot
Kad jūs aizgājuši tur nekad nav bijis
Nekad godīgs vārds
Un tas bija, kad es pasaulē valdīja
[Verse 2]
Tas bija ļauns un savvaļas vējš
Pūta leju durvis let mani
Shattered logi un skaņas bungas
Cilvēki nespēja noticēt tam, ko es gribētu kļūt
revolucionāri gaidīt
Par manu galvu uz sudraba plāksnītes
Tikai leļļu uz vientuļas string
Ak kurš kādreiz vēlas būt karalis?
[Chorus 2]
Es dzirdu Jeruzaleme bells a-zvana
Romiešu kavalērija kori dzied
Esi mans spogulis, mans zobens un vairogs
Mani misionāri ārvalstu jomā
Kādu iemeslu dēļ es nevaru izskaidrot
Es zinu, Saint Peter neprasa manu vārdu
Nekad godīgs vārds
Bet tas bija tad, kad es pasaulē valdīja
[Outro]
Es dzirdu Jeruzaleme bells a-zvana
Romiešu kavalērija kori dzied
Esi mans spogulis, mans zobens un vairogs
Mani misionāri ārvalstu jomā
Kādu iemeslu dēļ es nevaru izskaidrot
Es zinu, Saint Peter neprasa manu vārdu
Nekad godīgs vārds
Bet tas bija tad, kad es pasaulē valdīja
