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 enemies 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
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain Once you know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People could not 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?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world...
I can’t make you turn around And I can’t take back what I did I wouldn’t blame you if you hated me
Before you slam that open door And throw away four good years Think of everything we used to be I know you say that you’re over me But I’m asking you, beggin you not to leave
What if I told you I’ve changed Would you still walk away What if I told you I loved you Would you say that it’s too late What if you could feel what I feel When I watch you slowly drift away What if you’re wrong What if I’m right That you could move on What if you stay
I know right now it’s hard to breathe Hard to think and hard to see All the reasons we should work it out It might be easier to go, But if you walk out, you’ll never know How strong we could be at the end of this I know that sorry is not enough But I’ll do everything, anything to make it up
What if I told you I’ve changed Would you still walk away What if I told you I loved you Would you say that it’s too late What if you could feel what I feel When I watch you slowly drift away What if you’re wrong What if I’m right That you could move on What if you stay
What if I told you I’ve changed Would you still walk away What if I told you I loved you Would you say that it’s too late What if you could feel what I feel When I watch you slowly drift away What if you’re wrong What if I’m right You could move on What if you stay
I can’t make you turn around And I can’t take back what I did I wouldn’t blame you if you hated me...
