One minute I held the key
Next the Gwalls were closed on Emme
And I discovered that my cCastles stDand
Upon Gpillars of salt and pEmillars of sand
I Chear Jerusalem Dbells are ringing
GRoman Cavalry Emchoirs are singing
CBe my mirror, my Dsword, and shield
My Gmissionaries in a Emforeign field
CFor some reason I Dcan't explain
GOnce you go there was Emnever, never an Chonest Dword
That was Bmwhen I ruled the Emworld
C - D - G - Em x2

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the Gdoors to let me Emin.
Shattered windows and the Csound of Ddrums
People Gcouldn't believe whatEm I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my hGead on a silver Emplate
Just a puppet on a Clonely Dstring
Oh Gwho would ever want to be Emking?
I Chear Jerusalem Dbells are ringing
GRoman Cavalry Emchoirs are singing
CBe my mirror, my Dsword, and shield
My Gmissionaries in a Emforeign field
CFor some reason I Dcan't explain
