   [Intro]
          
          


   [Verse 1]
             
I used to rule

     
 the world
             
Seas would ris

              
e when I gave 

    
the word
              
Now in the mor

             
ning I sleep a


lone
             
Sweep the stre

              
ets I used to 


own

   [Verse 2]
             
I used to roll

     
 the dice
             
Feel the fear 

              
in my enemy's 


eyes
              
Listen as the 

           
crowd would si


ng
             
Now the old Ki

              
ng is dead, lo

   
ng live the Ki

ng
             
One minute I h

        
eld the key
             
Next the walls

              
 were closed o

  
n me
              
And I discover

             
ed that my cas

     
tles stand
             
Upon pillars o

           
f salt and pil

lars of sand


   [Chorus]
             
I hear Jerusal

   
em bells a-rin

choirs are sin

ging
             
Be my mirror, 

   
my sword and s

hield
             
My missionarie

       
s in a foreign

 field
             
For some reaso

    
n I can't expl

ain
           
Once you'd gon

[Verse 3]
              
It was the wic

Blew down the

Shattered wind

Revolutionarie

  
s wait
             
For my head on

          
 a silver plat

e
              
Just a puppet 

           
on a lonely st


ring
             
Oh who would e

              
ver want to be
