07 - Viva La Vida

[00:12.99] I used to rule the world

[00:16.95] Seas would rise when I gave the word

[00:19.30] Now in the morning I sleep alone

[00:23.80] Sweep the streets I used to own

[00:40.91] I used to roll the dice

[00:44.80] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

[00:47.76] Listen as the crowd would sing

[00:51.76] “Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”

[00:54.76] One minute I held the keys

[00:58.27] Next the doors were closed on me

[01:01.26] And I discovered that my castles stand

[01:05.52] Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

[01:09.62] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[01:13.12] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[01:16.35] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[01:19.96] My missionaries in a foreign field

[01:23.51] For some reason I can't explain

[01:27.26] Once you go there was never

[01:29.89] Never an honest word

[01:33.10] But that was when I ruled the world

[01:49.81] It was a wicked and wild wind

[01:54.17] Blew down the doors to let me in

[01:57.04] Shattered windows and the sound of drums

[02:01.29] People couldn't believe what I'd become

[02:04.65] Revolutionaries wait

[02:08.40] For my head on a silver plate

[02:11.15] Just a puppet on a lonely string

[02:15.25] Oh who would ever wanna be king?

[02:19.00] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[02:22.50] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[02:26.00] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[02:29.50] My missionaries in a foreign field

[02:33.00] For some reason I can't explain

[02:36.50] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[02:39.75] Never an honest word

[02:42.60] But that was when I ruled the world

[03:14.75] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

[03:18.25] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

[03:21.75] Be my mirror, my sword and shield

[03:25.11] My missionaries in a foreign field

[03:28.63] For some reason I can't explain

[03:32.23] I know Saint Peter won't call my name

[03:35.07] Never an honest word

[03:38.69] But that was when I ruled the world
