Viva La Vida

[00:12.96] I used to rule the world
[00:16.81] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.69] Now in the mornin', I sleep alone
[00:23.85] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:29.55]
[00:40.68] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.79] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.15] Listened as the crowd would sing
[00:51.74] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:54.84] One minute I held the key
[00:58.64] Next, the walls were closed on me
[01:01.44] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.58] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.44] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
[01:13.21] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[01:16.67] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:20.12] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.52] For some reason, I can't explain
[01:27.14] Once you'd gone, there was never
[01:29.86] Never an honest word
[01:33.67] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:39.37]
[01:49.79] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.18] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.12] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.42] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.58] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.19] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.20] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.40] Oh, who would ever wanna be king?
[02:18.96] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
[02:22.93] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[02:26.26] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.62] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.05] For some reason, I can't explain
[02:36.65] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.68] Never an honest word
[02:42.98] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:48.58]
[03:14.66] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
[03:18.47] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[03:21.86] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:25.32] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.71] For some reason, I can't explain
[03:32.15] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:35.34] Never an honest word
[03:38.68] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:41.65]
