LYRICS:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now, in the mornings 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
Up on my pills and salt, just pills and glands
I hear Jerusalum bells are ringing
Roman cavulry 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 go, there was never, never an honest word but that was when I ruled the world
It was wicked and a wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I've become
Revolutainiers wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet and a lonely string
And I thought, "who would have a job, being king?"
I hear Jerusalum bells are ringing
Roman cavulry 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 go, there was never, never an honest word but that was when I ruled the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh- oh)
{Group 1: Sharper} | {Group 2: Elliot & Nathan}
Ooh-whoa, whoa | Oh (Woah)
Ooh-whoa, whoa | Oh (Woah)
Ooh-whoa, whoa | Oh (Woah)
Ooh-whoa, whoa | Oh (Woah)
{Group 1: Sharper} {Group 2: Elliot} | {Group 3: Nathan}
I hear Jeruslam bells are ringing | Whoa | Oh (Whoa)
Roman cavulry choirs are singing | Whoa | Oh (Whoa)
"Be my mirror, my sword and shield" | Whoa | Oh (Whoa)
My missionaries in a foreign field | Whoa | Oh (Whoa)
For some reason, I can't explain
[Group 2 & 3] Once you go, there was never, never an honest word
[All Groups] But that was when I ruled the world
