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
Zdaj zjutraj spim sam
Sweep ulice sem se uporabljajo za lastne
Včasih sem roll kocke, občutek strahu v moj sovražnik očeh
Poslušaj, saj bi množica pela
Zdaj je stara Kralj je mrtev, naj živi kralj
Eno minuto sem imel ključ
Naslednja stenah so bili zaprti na meni
In sem ugotovil, da stojijo moji gradovi
Po stebrov soli in stebrov peska
[Chorus 1]
Slišim Jeruzalem bells a-zvonjenje
Roman konjenica zbori pojejo
Bodi moj ogledalo, moj meč in ščit
Moje misijonarji v tujem polju
Iz neznanega razloga ne morem razložiti
Ko boš šla ni bilo nikoli
Nikoli pošten beseda
In to je bilo, ko sem vladal svetu
[Verz 2]
To je bil zloben in divji veter
Pihal navzdol vrata, da mi v
Razbili okna in zvok bobnov
Ljudje niso mogli verjeti, kaj sem postal
revolucionarji, počakajte
Za mojo glavo na srebrnem pladnju
Samo lutka na samotni niz
Oh, ki bi kdaj želeli biti kralj?
[Chorus 2]
Slišim Jeruzalem bells a-zvonjenje
Roman konjenica zbori pojejo
Bodi moj ogledalo, moj meč in ščit
Moje misijonarji v tujem polju
Iz neznanega razloga ne morem razložiti
Vem, Sveti Peter ne bo poklical moje ime
Nikoli pošten beseda
Ampak to je bilo, ko sem vladal svetu
[Outro]
Slišim Jeruzalem bells a-zvonjenje
Roman konjenica zbori pojejo
Bodi moj ogledalo, moj meč in ščit
Moje misijonarji v tujem polju
Iz neznanega razloga ne morem razložiti
Vem, Sveti Peter ne bo poklical moje ime
Nikoli pošten beseda
Ampak to je bilo, ko sem vladal svetu
