Coldplay - Viva La Vida

[00:13.84] I used to rule the world

[00:17.56] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:20.22] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:24.20] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:41.47] I used to roll the dice

[00:45.45] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:48.64] Listened as the crowd would sing,

[00:52.36] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

[00:55.28] One minute I held the key

[00:59.26] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:02.18] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:06.44] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:10.15] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[01:13.61] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[01:17.33] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:20.78] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:24.24] For some reason I can't explain

[01:27.95] Once you'd gone there was never

[01:30.35] Never an honest word

[01:34.33] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:50.79] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:55.04] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:57.97] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.95] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:05.14] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.86] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.78] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.76] Oh who would ever want to be king?

[02:19.75] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[02:23.47] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[02:26.65] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:30.11] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.56] For some reason I can't explain

[02:37.02] I know St. Peter won't call my name

[02:40.20] Never an honest word

[02:43.66] But that was when I ruled the world

[03:00.65] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]

[03:15.80] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[03:18.99] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[03:22.43] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.89] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:29.34] For some reason I can't explain

[03:32.79] I know St. Peter won't call my name

[03:35.98] Never an honest word

[03:39.44] But that was when I ruled the world
