Coldplay - Viva La Vida

[00:12.31] I used to rule the world

[00:16.31] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:18.97] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:23.23] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:40.22] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.21] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:47.39] Listened as the crowd would sing,

[00:51.38] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

[00:54.31] One minute I held the key

[00:58.04] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:00.96] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:04.96] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:08.96] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[01:12.69] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[01:15.89] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:19.63] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.07] For some reason I can't explain

[01:26.30] Once you'd gone there was never

[01:29.49] Never an honest word

[01:32.95] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:49.43] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:53.96] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:56.35] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:00.85] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.05] Revolutionaries wait

[02:07.76] For my head on a silver plate

[02:10.69] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:14.96] Oh who would ever want to be king?

[02:18.69] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[02:22.17] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[02:25.62] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.10] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:32.55] For some reason I can't explain

[02:36.00] I know St. Peter won't call my name

[02:39.19] Never an honest word

[02:42.37] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:59.16] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]

[03:14.14] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[03:17.87] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[03:21.32] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:24.52] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.23] For some reason I can't explain

[03:31.68] I know St. Peter won't call my name

[03:34.87] Never an honest word

[03:38.06] But that was when I ruled the world
