Viva La Vida

[00:12.95] I used to rule the world

[00:16.91] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:19.83] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:23.93] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:41.02] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.62] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:48.03] Listened as the crowd would sing

[00:52.01] Now the old king is dead!

[00:53.88] Long live the king!

[00:54.83] One minute I held the key

[00:58.74] Next the walls were closed on me

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

[01:05.59] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.63] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:13.03] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.49] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:20.21] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.61] For some reason I can't explain

[01:27.33] Once you'd gone, there was never

[01:29.64] Never an honest word

[01:33.56] That was when I ruled the world

[01:49.87] It was the wicked and wild wind

[01:54.24] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:57.17] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.38] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.84] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.20] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.35] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.24] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:18.88] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:22.62] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:26.37] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.56] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.05] For some reason I can't explain

[02:36.48] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.70] Never an honest word

[02:42.90] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:59.85] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[03:15.14] Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[03:18.35] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[03:21.82] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.30] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.76] For some reason I can't explain

[03:32.44] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:35.45] Never an honest word

[03:38.56] But that was when I ruled the world
