Coldplay - 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 enemie'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 the my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of stand

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 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's 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 bells a ringing roman cavaly 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

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 an honest word but that was when I ruled the world
