Original Tradução
I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the
morning I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to ownI used to roll the diceFeel the
fear in my enemy's eyesListened as the crowd would singNow the old king is dead!Long
live the king!One minute I held the keyNext the walls were closed on meAnd I discovered
that my castles standUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sandI hear Jerusalem bells are
ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy missionaries
in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explainOnce you'd gone, there was neverNever
an honest wordThat was when I ruled the worldIt was the wicked and wild windBlew down
the doors to let me inShattered windows and the sound of drumsPeople couldn't believe
what I'd becomeRevolutionaries waitFor my head on a silver plateJust a puppet on a
lonely stringOh, who would ever want to be king?I hear Jerusalem bells are ringingRoman
Cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign
fieldFor some reason I can't explainI know Saint Peter won't call my nameNever an
honest wordBut that was when I ruled the worldOoh, ooh, ooh, oohHear Jerusalem bells
are ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy
missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explainI know Saint Peter won't
call my nameNever an honest wordBut that was when I ruled the world
