I used to rule the world.
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
Now ever morning I sleep alone.
Sweep the streets I used to own.
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
Listen as the crown 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.
