"Viva La Vida"
[00:13.03] [Chris Martin]
[00:13.03] I used to rule the world
[00:16.79] Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.45] Now in the morning, I sleep alone
[00:23.71] Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:27.95] (Instrumental Interlude)
[00:40.97] I used to roll the dice
[00:44.71] Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
[00:47.89] Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:51.88] "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:54.81] One minute, I held the key
[00:58.81] Next, the walls were closed on me
[01:01.20] And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:05.71] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:09.49] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringin'
[01:13.26] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[01:16.71] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:19.95] My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:23.67] For some reason I can't explain
[01:27.12] Once you'd gone, there was never
[01:29.78] Never an honest word
[01:33.50] And that was when I ruled the world
[01:37.48] (Instrumental Interlude)
[01:49.98] It was a wicked and wild wind
[01:54.27] Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:57.18] Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[02:01.45] People couldn't believe what I'd become
[02:04.37] Revolutionaries wait
[02:08.35] For my head on a silver plate
[02:11.03] Just a puppet on a lonely string (Mmm, mmm)
[02:15.28] Aw, who would ever wanna be king?
[02:18.99] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringin'
[02:22.71] Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
[02:26.17] Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[02:29.62] My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:33.07] For some reason I can't explain
[02:36.53] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.71] Never an honest word
[02:42.94] But that was when I ruled the world
[02:46.94] (Instrumental Interlude)
[02:59.45] [Brian Eno, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion]
[02:59.45] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:02.91] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:06.62] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:09.85] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:14.94] [Chris Martin, Brian Eno, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion]
[03:14.94] Hear Jerusalem bells are ringin' (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:18.40] Roman cavalry choirs are singin' (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:21.85] Be my mirror, my sword and shield (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:25.08] My missionaries in a foreign field (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:28.79] For some reason I can't explain (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[03:32.26] I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:35.46] Never an honest word
[03:38.70] But that was when I ruled the world
[03:42.75] Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[03:49.72] Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[03:56.65] Mmm, mmm
