coldplay_viva la vida songs

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 diceFeel the fear in my enemies 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 a ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing 

Be my mirror, my sword, my 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 (Ooooh) 

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 explainI know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word 

But that was when I ruled the world

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh(repeat with chorus)

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing 

Roman cavalry choirs are singing 

Be my mirror, my sword, my 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 

Oooooooh Oooooooh Oooooooh
