Mason:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

Jane:
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king

Roderick and Myron:
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me

Kitty:
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Skylar and Madison with New Directions:
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
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Rachel:
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in

Kurt and Santana:
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Puck and Quinn:
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate

Blaine and Sam:
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Rachel and Kurt with Alumni:
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 St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

New Directions and Alumni:
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Rachel with New Directions:
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing (Alumni: Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
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 (Alumni: Oh oh, oh oh)
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

New Directions and Alumni:
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
