Viva La Vida (Lyrics) Coldplay
[00:13.03] I used to rule the world
[00:17.02] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.41] Now in the morning, I sleep alone
[00:23.69] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:40.95] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.94] Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
[00:47.86] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:51.87] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:54.83] One minute, I held the key
[00:58.57] Next, the walls were closed on me
[01:01.75] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.74] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.98] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringin'
[01:12.91] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[01:16.36] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:19.83] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.28] For some reason I can't explain
[01:26.73] Once you'd gone, there was never
[01:29.69] Never an honest word
[01:33.41] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:50.41] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.40] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.05] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.09] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.55] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.27] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.22] Just a puppet on a lonely string (Mmm, mmm)
[02:15.49] Aw, who would ever wanna be king?
[02:19.22] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringin'
[02:22.42] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[02:25.87] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.31] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:32.77] For some reason I can't explain
[02:36.23] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.68] Never an honest word
[02:43.13] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:47.11] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:00.39] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:06.50] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:10.22] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:13.94] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:15.53] Hear Jerusalem bells are ringin'
[03:17.66] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:18.20] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[03:20.05] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:21.37] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[03:23.00] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:25.12] My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:28.05] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:28.32] For some reason I can't explain
[03:31.27] (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:32.07] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:35.25] Never an honest word
[03:38.70] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:43.76] Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[03:50.67] Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[03:51.25] Mmm, mmm
