Teresaxxoo - the truth about what its about can only come from the writer, but it does seem that the writer had what he or she thought was a kingdom and then, for whatever reason, lost it. Willingly or unwillingly. There seems to be a strong message of "what you see and have isn't necessarily truth" in the lyrics. The writer lacks confidence that he or she is going to be able to redeem the lack of honesty from their "rule the world" phase. Listened to this song forever before I looked up the lyrics - I always thought he sang "St Peter will call my name" and thought it to be positive; change one word and it becomes a much darker lyric. Good for you for pushing for the meaning.
