Viva la Vida

[00:13.08] I used to rule the world

[00:16.83] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:19.33] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:23.59] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:41.33] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.58] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:48.09] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:51.58] Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

[00:54.61] One minute I held the key

[00:58.34] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:02.34] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.33] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.58] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:12.84] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.09] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:19.59] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:22.86] For some reason I can't explain

[01:26.59] Once you go there was never, never a honest word

[01:32.59] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:50.34] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:53.85] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:56.84] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:00.83] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.34] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.09] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.09] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.33] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:19.09] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:22.33] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[02:25.84] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.09] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:32.36] For some reason I can't explain

[02:35.85] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.08] Never an honest word

[02:42.85] But that was when I ruled the world

[03:00.83] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:15.10] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[03:18.34] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[03:21.83] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:24.33] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:27.84] For some reason I can't explain

[03:31.33] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:34.83] Never an honest word

[03:37.83] But that was when I ruled the world
