Viva La Vida

Coldplay - Viva la Vida

I used to rule the world /

Seas would rise when I gave the word /

Now in the morning I sweep 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, pillars of sand /

I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /

Be my mirror my sword and shield /

My missionaries in a foreign field /

For some reason I can not explain /

Once you know there was never, never an honest word /

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 could not 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 want to be king? /

I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /

Be my mirror my sword and shield /

My missionaries in a foreign field /

For some reason I can not explain /

I know Saint Peter won’t call my name /

Never an honest word /

But that was when I ruled the world /

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /

Be my mirror my sword and shield /

My missionaries in a foreign field /

For some reason I can not explain /

I know Saint Peter won’t call my name /

Never an honest word /

But that was when I ruled the world /

Oh
