In it I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castle stand

Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand

I hear jubilations ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

A beam of mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you've gone, it was never, never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

And revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just to pop it on a lonely string

Of who would ever want to become

I hear jubilations ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

A beam of mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know St. Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh

I hear jubilations ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

A beam of mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know St. Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh

You remember me when the West wind blows

Upon the fields of Bali

You'll forget the sun in his jealous eye

As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love for a gaze awhile

Upon the fields of Bali

In his arms she fell as her hair came down

Upon the fields of gold

Will you stay with me?

Will you be my love?

Among the fields of Bali

We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky

As we lie in fields of gold
