I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that 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 minuto I held the key
successivo 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 Canto
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once te go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
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?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are Canto
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are Canto
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Long live the king!"

When te try your best, but te don't succeed
When te get what te want, but not what te need
When te feel so tired, but te can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When te lose something te can't replace
When te Amore someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide te home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above o down below
When you're too in Amore to let it go
But if te never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide te home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When te lose something te cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise te I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Lights will guide te home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
When te get what te want, but not what te need
When te feel so tired, but te can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When te lose something te can't replace
When te Amore someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide te home

Tears stream down on your face
I promise te I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Lights will guide te home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
