1
I used to rule the world,
2
the seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone,
3
sweep the streets I used to own
4
I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes,
5
listen as the crowd would sing.
6
Now the old king is dead, long with the king.
7
From pillars of sun, pillars of sand.
8
I hear terrors and the bells are ringing.
9
Roman cavalry choirs are singing.
10
Me, my mirror, my soul and cheer.
11
My missionaries in a foreign field.
12
For some reason I can't explain.
13
Once you've gone, it was never, never an honest word.
14
It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows
15
and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become The missionaries wait for my head on a silver plate,
16
just a puppet on a lonely string, oh, who would ever want to be king?
17
I hear terrible bells ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing.
18
I know Saint Peter won't call my name, never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.
19
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

23
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I was an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.
24
I used to rule the world Seas have rise
25
when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
26
I used to roll the dice,
27
feel the fear in my enemies eyes Listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king is dead,
28
long live the king And I discovered that my castle was down,
29
upon pillars of sun, pillars of sand.
30
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, Roman Catholic choirs are singing.
31
Be my mirror, my soul and shield, my missionaries in a foreign field.
32
The oldest word, that was when I ruled the world.
33
It was a wicked and wild wind blew down the doors to let me in.
34
People couldn't believe what I'd become
35
Revolutionaries wait for my hand on a silver plate Just a
36
puppet on a lonely string of who would ever want to be king I hear Jerusalem bells ringing,
37
Roman cavalry choirs are singing For some reason I fall and feel,
38
or some reason I can't explain.
39
I know Saint Peter won't call my name, never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.
40
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
