Viva La Vida
I used to rule the world
- 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
- Nowthe 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
- But 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 want tobe 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
- Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
- Ohhhhh Ohhh
- 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
