Since this is in the past tense, it helps establish meaning for the song right at the beginning, marking the song as a sad one. This establishes that the speaker once was powerful, and we get to look at the speaker's view of the speaker from the hindsight of the speaker. The emphasis on the word "rule" also comes into play, drawing it out gives it more importance.
