Viva la vida

[00:12.38] I used to rule the world

[00:16.36] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:19.02] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:23.27] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:40.27] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.26] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:47.45] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:51.16] "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

[00:54.35] One minute I held the key

[00:58.07] Next the walls were closed on me

[01:01.00] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.24] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:09.22] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

[01:12.67] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.13] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:19.59] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.04] For some reason I can't explain

[01:26.75] Once you go there was never

[01:29.41] Never an honest word

[01:32.87] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:49.86] It was the wicked and wild wind

[01:53.85] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:56.78] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.02] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.21] Revolutionaries wait

[02:07.93] For my head on a silver plate

[02:10.58] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:14.83] Oh who would ever want to be king?

[02:18.56] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

[02:22.27] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:25.72] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.18] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:32.63] For some reason I can't explain

[02:35.81] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.27] Never an honest word

[02:42.46] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:58.93] Oh...

[03:14.34] I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

[03:18.05] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[03:21.24] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:24.69] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.41] For some reason I can't explain

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

[03:34.79] Never an honest word

[03:38.24] But that was when I ruled the world
