Em
EmI used to rule Gthe Dworld
DSeas would rise wGhen I gave tBmhe word
BmNow Emin the morning, I sleeDp alone
DSweGeEmp theC stDreGets EmI usCed toG own
GIEm used to roll the dice
 FeeGl the fear in my enemy's eyEmes
EmListened as thCe crowd wouDld sinGg
G"Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
GOEmne minute I heCld theG key
GNext, the walls were closed on me
GAnEmd I discovered that myC castles stGand
GUpon pillars of salt and pillars Emof sand
EmI hear JerCusalem bellDs a-ringing
DRoman Gcavalry choirsEm are singing
EmBe my mirCror, my sword aDnd shield
DMy missionGaries in a forEmeign field
EmFor someC reason, I cDan't explain
DOnce yGou'd gone, there was neEmver
EmNever an hoCnest wDord
DAndG thEmat waCs wDhenG EmI ruledC theG world
GIEmt was a wicked anCd wilDd wind
DBlew down the doors to lBmet me in
BmSEmhattered windows and the sound Dof drums
DPeople couldn't bGelieve what I'd bEmecome
EmRevolutioCnaries waGit
GFor my head on a silver plate
GJust Ema puppet on Ca lonely sDtring
DOh, who wGould ever wantEm to be king?
EmI hear JeCrusalem bellsD a-ringing
DRoman cGavalry choirs aEmre singing
EmBe my mirrCor, my sword Dand shield
DMy missionGaries in a forEmeign field
EmFor some Creason, I can'Dt explain
DI knowG Saint Peter won't Emcall my name
EmNever anC honest woDrd
DBuGtEm thCaEmt CwaEms CwhEmenG I rCuDleGd EtEmhCe DwoGrlEmd
EmHear JCerusalem bellsD a-ringing
DRoman cGavalry choirs arEme singing
EmBe my mirrCor, my sword aDnd shield
DMy misGsionaries in a forEmeign field
EmFor someC reason, I can'Dt explain
DI kGnow Saint Peter won't callEm my name
EmNever an Ghonest woDrd
DBut that Gwas when I ruled thEme world
