I used to ______ the world

Seas would ______ when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep ______ 

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to ______ the dice

Feel the ______ in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing:

"Now the old king is dead!

______ live the king!"

One minute I held the ______ 

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my ______ stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of ______ 

I hear Jerusalem ______ are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my ______ and shield

My missionaries in a foreign ______ 

For some reason I can't explain

---

Once you go there was never

Never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and ______ wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of ______ 

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait

For my ______ on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely ______ 

Oh who would ever want to be king?

[chorus]

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

[chorus]

I know Saint Peter will call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world
