Viva La Vida - Coldplay
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
pillars of sand
i hear jerusalem bells
a 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
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
ah who would
ever want to be king
i hear jerusalem bells
a 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 honest word
but that was when
i ruled the world

oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
hear jerusalem bells
a 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 honest word
but that was
when i ruled the world
