    I used to rule the world
    Chunks would load when I gave the word
    Now every night I go stow away
    Hide from the mobs I used to slay
    They once were terrified
    Every time I looked into their eyes
    Villagers would cheer my way
    For a hero I was, that's what they'd say
    One minute we had it all
    Next our world began to fall
    Away from all that it had once become
    They all cried for my help, but I stood there numb
    I gaze off into the boundless skyline
    Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
    Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
    The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
    And hope one day that this chaos and
    Destruction turns for the better
    Never a bow in hand
    That was when I ruled the land
    It was the creepers and Skeletons
    Blew down the doors and boxed us in
    Arrows whizzing by like streaks of light
    I tried all that I could to stay and fight
    As the undead roamed the street
    Families broken at my feet
    Life itself suspended by a thread
    Oh, why is it that I wasn't dead
    I gaze off into the boundless skyline
    Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
    Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
    The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
    If this battle should leave me slain
    I know that Herobrine will call my name
    Better to take a stand
    That was when I ruled the land
    I gaze off into the boundless skyline
    Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
    Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
    The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield

      I assume you have seen the minecraft video "Fallen Kingdom" which is based on this version of the song. If you haven't, you should. My kids love it. It's the first of a four-part story of minecraft based parodies. All four are good.
