Viva La Vida

[00:13.16] I used to rule the world
[00:16.85] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.53] Now in the morning, I sleep alone
[00:23.95] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:29.02]
[00:40.64] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.70] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:47.96] Listened as the crowd would sing
[00:51.77] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:54.81] One minute I held the key
[00:58.68] Next, the walls were closed on me
[01:01.45] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.51] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.43] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[01:13.21] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:16.67] 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
[01:27.19] Once you'd gone, there was never
[01:29.82] Never an honest word
[01:33.63] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:38.52]
[01:49.98] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.25] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.24] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.40] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.79] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.43] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.28] Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:15.45] Oh, who would ever want to be king?
[02:19.12] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[02:22.92] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:26.23] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.69] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.27] For some reason, I can't explain
[02:36.55] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.84] Never an honest word
[02:42.91] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:47.28]
[03:15.15] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
[03:18.40] Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:22.08] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:25.36] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.98] For some reason, I can't explain
[03:32.44] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:35.58] Never an honest word
[03:38.72] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:41.27]
