Viva La Vida

[00:14.31] I used to rule the world

[00:18.04] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:20.96] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:25.20] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:35.04] I used to roll the dice

[00:39.02] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:42.48] Listened as the crowd would sing

[00:46.46] Now the old king is dead!

[00:48.85] Long live the king!

[00:49.92] One minute I held the key

[00:53.12] Next the walls were closed on me

[00:56.04] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:00.30] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[01:04.03] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[01:08.00] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:11.19] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:14.92] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:17.83] For some reason I can't explain

[01:21.56] Once you'd gone, there was never

[01:25.54] Never an honest word

[01:27.92] That was when I ruled the world

[01:44.67] It was the wicked and wild wind

[01:49.21] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:52.13] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[01:56.38] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[01:59.84] Revolutionaries wait

[02:03.29] For my head on a silver plate

[02:06.22] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:11.00] Oh, who would ever want to be king?

[02:14.19] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:17.39] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:21.10] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:25.61] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:29.33] For some reason I can't explain

[02:31.72] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:34.64] Never an honest word

[02:38.37] But that was when I ruled the world

[02:41.29] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[02:43.15] Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

[02:45.28] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:48.99] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:52.71] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:56.43] For some reason I can't explain

[02:59.88] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:03.06] Never an honest word

[03:06.81] But that was when I ruled the world
