take off the mask

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 jersualem bells a-ringin'
roman cavalry chores are singin'
be my mirror, my sword, and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i can't explain
once you were gone there was never
never an honest word

and that was when i ruled the world.
