8 8 8 8 -9 -8
I used to rule the world.
-8 6 -8 -8 7 8 6 -6
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 -9 -8
Now in the morn-ing I sweep a-lone.
-8 6 -8 -8 -8 8 7 -7 -6
Sweep the streets I used to o--w--n.
8 8 8 8 -9 -8
I used to roll the dice.
-8 6 -8 -8 6 -8 -8 8 7 -7-6
Feel the fear in my e-ne-my's e-y-es.
8 8 8 8 8 -9 -8
Lis-ten as the crowd would sing.
7 7 8 -8 7 7
"Now the old king is dead!
7 8 -8 7 7
Long live the kin-g!"
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 8 9
One mi-nute I held the key.
9 9 9 7 9 -8 8
Next the walls were closed on me.
6 8 8 8 8 8
And I di-sco-vered that
8 8 -9 -8
my ca-stles stand.
7 7 8 -8 7 7 8
U-pon pil-lars of salt and
-8 7 7 -7
pil-lars of sand.
7 -10 -10 -10 9 -10 9 -8 8 -9
I hear Je-ru-sa-lem bells a ring-ing.
9 9 9 8 9 8 -6 -7 7
Ro-man Ca-val-ry choirs are sing-ing.
-10 -10 -10 9 -10 9 -8 8 -9
Be my mir-ror, my sword, and shie-ld.
8 9 8 9 9 8 9 8 -6 -7 7
My mis-sio-nar-ies in a fo-reign fie-ld.
9 9 9 -9 9 -10 -10 -10
For some rea-son I can't ex-plain.
9 9 9 9 9 -9 8
Once you go, there was ne-ver.
-9 8 8 8 -9 -8
Ne-ver an ho-nest word.
-9 -8 -7
That was when
7 8 -7 7
I ruled the world.
