Lyrics

bandera Traducción al Español
I used to rule the world

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

Sweep the streets I used to own


I used to roll the dice

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listened as the crowd would sing

Listened as the crowd would sing

Now the old king is dead long live the king

Now the old king is dead long live the king

One minute I held the key

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand


I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Missionaries in a foreign field

Missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

For some reason I can't explain

Once you'd gone there was never

Once you'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

And that was when I ruled the world


It was a wicked and wild wind

It was a wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

Oh who would ever want to be king?


I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

For some reason I can't explain

I know St Peter won't call my name

I know St Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

But that was when I ruled the world


Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

For some reason I can't explain

I know St Peter won't call my name

I know St Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

But that was when I ruled the world
