Coldpay - Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own


I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can`t explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world


It was the wicked and wild win
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn`t believe what I`d become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string (ooh)
Ah, who would ever want to be king

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can`t explain
I know Saint Peter won`t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world


(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh~)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can`t explain
I know Saint Peter won`t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
