VERSE
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone sweep the streets

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next, the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear
CHORUS
Jerusalem bells, a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone, there was never
That was when I ruled the world
VERSE
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what
For my head on a silver plate
just a puppet on a lonely string
Who would ever want to be king?
CHORUS
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
That was when I ruled the world
CHORUS
My missionaries in a foreign
For some reason, I can't explain
How would you rate this song?
