Viva la Vida

[00:13.66] I used to rule the world

[00:17.41] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:20.41] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:24.16] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:41.16] I used to roll the dice

[00:45.16] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:48.16] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:51.91] Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

[00:54.91] One minute I held the key

[00:58.91] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:01.66] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.91] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.91] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:13.41] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.91] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:20.16] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.91] For some reason I can't explain

[01:27.18] Once you go there was never, never a honest word

[01:34.16] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:50.91] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:54.41] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:57.41] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.66] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.66] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.66] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.41] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.66] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:19.41] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:22.91] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[02:26.41] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.66] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.41] For some reason I can't explain

[02:36.91] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.91] Never an honest word

[02:43.41] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:59.91] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:15.41] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[03:18.66] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[03:22.16] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.41] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:29.16] For some reason I can't explain

[03:32.41] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:35.91] Never an honest word

[03:39.16] But that was when I ruled the world
