07 Viva La Vida

[00:12.41] I used to rule the world

[00:16.16] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:18.82] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:23.06] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:40.06] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.08] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:47.31] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:51.33] Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

[00:54.06] One minute I held the key

[00:58.08] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:00.83] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.07] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.06] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:12.32] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.07] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:19.58] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.06] For some reason I can't explain

[01:26.57] Once you go there was never, never a honest word

[01:32.83] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:49.52] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:53.76] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:56.51] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:00.77] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.01] Revolutionaries wait

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

[02:10.51] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.02] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:18.52] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:22.01] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[02:25.51] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.02] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:32.77] For some reason I can't explain

[02:36.01] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.00] Never an honest word

[02:42.26] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:58.94] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[03:14.08] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[03:17.83] Roman Calvary choirs are singing

[03:21.34] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:24.58] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.08] For some reason I can't explain

[03:31.59] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:34.83] Never an honest word

[03:37.84] But that was when I ruled the world
