Viva La Vida

[00:13.06] I used to rule the world
[00:17.02] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.69] Now in the morning, I sleep alone
[00:23.83] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:28.78]
[00:41.15] I used to roll the dice
[00:45.04] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:48.18] Listened as the crowd would sing
[00:51.93] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:55.22] One minute I held the key
[00:58.74] Next, the walls were closed on me
[01:02.00] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.78] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.67] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:13.02] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.73] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:20.22] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.81] For some reason, I can't explain
[01:27.09] Once you'd gone, there was never
[01:29.91] Never an honest word
[01:33.63] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:38.26]
[01:50.97] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.45] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.32] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.32] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.78] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.39] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.30] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.94] Oh, who would ever want to be king?
[02:19.36] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:22.66] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.30] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.52] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.18] For some reason, I can't explain
[02:36.49] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.96] Never an honest word
[02:43.93] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:48.51]
[02:59.93] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:04.55]
[03:06.74] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:10.17] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:13.75] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:15.29] For some reason, I can't explain
[03:18.68] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:22.13] Never an honest word
[03:25.76] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:28.41]
