Viva La Vida

[00:01.03] "Viva La Vida"

[00:04.75] (originally by Coldplay)

[00:13.78] I used to rule the world

[00:17.75] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:20.41] Now in the morning, I sleep alone

[00:24.68] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:34.76] I used to roll the dice

[00:38.76] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:41.93] Listened as the crowd would sing

[00:45.77] Now the old king is dead, long live the king

[00:48.94] One minute I held the key

[00:52.68] Next, the walls were closed on me

[00:55.58] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:00.12] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:03.56] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[01:07.29] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[01:10.47] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:14.18] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:17.63] For some reason, I can't explain

[01:20.56] Once you'd gone, there was never

[01:23.75] Never an honest word

[01:28.00] And that was when I ruled the world

[01:44.50] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:49.02] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:51.67] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[01:55.65] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[01:59.13] Revolutionaries wait

[02:02.60] For my head on a silver plate

[02:05.79] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:10.57] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:13.74] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[02:17.20] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[02:20.92] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:24.37] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:27.82] For some reason, I can't explain

[02:31.27] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:34.47] Never an honest word

[02:37.90] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:41.91] Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[02:45.35] Roman cavalry choirs are singing

[02:48.81] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:52.25] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:55.72] For some reason, I can't explain

[02:58.92] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:02.39] But that was when I ruled the world
