Viva La Vida

[00:00.13] I used to rule the world

[00:03.88] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:06.88] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:11.38] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:29.88] I used to roll the dice

[00:34.13] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:37.88] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:41.63] “Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”

[00:45.14] One minute I held the keys

[00:49.38] Next the doors were closed on me

[00:52.63] And I discovered that my castles stand

[00:56.88] Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

[01:01.13] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[01:05.13] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:08.88] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:12.38] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:16.63] For some reason I can't explain

[01:19.88] Once you go there was never

[01:23.13] Never an honest word

[01:27.63] But that was when I ruled the world

[01:45.88] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:50.63] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:53.63] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[01:58.38] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:02.13] Revolutionaries wait

[02:06.13] For my head on a silver plate

[02:09.14] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:13.88] Oh who would ever wanna be king?

[02:18.13] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[02:22.13] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:25.88] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.38] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.63] For some reason I can't explain

[02:37.13] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:40.88] Never an honest word

[02:44.89] But that was when I ruled the world

[03:20.13] For some reason I can't explain

[03:23.13] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:26.63] Never an honest word

[03:30.63] But that was when I ruled the world
