I used to rule the world
C Bb C C Bb D F G
Seas would rise when I gave the word
D D D DD D D EbC
Now in the morning I sleep alone
C Bb C C C D BbAG
Sweep the streets I used to own

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

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 singing

My missionaries in a foreign field

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
F F F F F FEb D
For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string
