"Viva La Vida"
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
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 Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever wanna be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain I know
Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singin
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain I know
Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
