Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
Tigers waiting to be tamed, singing
You are
You are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop but you now know, singing
Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease?, singing
You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are
You are
Home, home where I wanted to be
Home, home where I wanted to be
Home, home where I wanted to be
Home, home where I wanted to be

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

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd 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

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 go there was never, never an honest word
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

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

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 Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo
(repeat with chorus)

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 Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh 

Yeah you’re so convinced
Of how it’s supposed to be
I know you’re confused
Don’t take it out on me
I’m free to try
I’m free to dream
When it all goes wrong
We’re not afraid to scream
Cause the future now is ours babes
Oh, oh, shout it out
Get ready ’cause I get loud
Cause we’re born to make some noise
Don’t tell me we should turn it down
We were born to make some noise
Make some noise
We’re not the enemy
You might be surprised
Don’t need hypocrisy to open up our eyes
We don’t need your mood
Don’t need a uniform
This is who we are
We won’t be ignored
Cause the future now is ours babes
Oh, oh, shout it out
Get ready ’cause I get loud
Cause we’re born to make some noise
Don’t tell me we should turn it down
We were born to make some noise
Get ready ’cause I get loud
Cause we were born to make some noise
Don’t tell me we should turn it down
Cause We were born to make some noise
Just for once . . .
Get ready ’cause I get loud
Cause we were born to make some noise
Don’t tell me we should turn it down
Cause We were born to make some noise
Nobody’s going to shut it down yeah
Cause we were born to make some noise
We could turn this whole thing around
Come on you girls and boys
Make some noise
Get ready ’cause I get loud
Cause we were born to make some noise
Don’t tell me we should turn it down
Cause We were born to make some noise
We could turn this whole thing around
Come on you girls and boys
Make some noise
