Viva La Vida

[00:13.13] I used to rule the world
[00:16.89] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.58] Now in the morning, I sleep alone
[00:23.97] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:28.79]
[00:40.65] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.70] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:47.93] Listened as the crowd would sing
[00:51.74] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:54.86] One minute I held the key
[00:58.69] Next, the walls were closed on me
[01:01.48] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.50] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.49] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:13.26] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.64] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:20.19] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.59] For some reason, I can't explain
[01:27.13] Once you'd gone, there was never
[01:29.80] Never an honest word
[01:33.66] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:38.44]
[01:49.99] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.27] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.29] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.44] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.70] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.42] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.29] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.41] Oh, who would ever want to be king?
[02:19.12] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:22.91] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.24] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.65] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.20] For some reason, I can't explain
[02:36.52] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.82] Never an honest word
[02:42.95] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:47.80]
[03:15.12] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:18.46] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:22.00] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:25.39] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.95] For some reason, I can't explain
[03:32.48] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:35.59] Never an honest word
[03:38.75] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:41.59]
