"Viva La Vida" <br /> <br />I used to rule the world <br />Seas would rise when I gave the word <br />Now in the morning I sleep alone <br />Sweep the streets I used to own <br /> <br />I used to roll the dice <br />Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes <br />Listened as the crowd would sing <br />Now the old king is dead long live the king <br />One minute I held the key <br />Next the walls were closed on me <br />And I discovered that my castles stand <br />Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand <br /> <br />I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing <br />Roman cavalry choirs are singing <br />Be my mirror, my sword and shield <br />My missionaries in a foreign field <br />For some reason I can't explain <br />Once you'd gone there was never <br />Never an honest word <br />And that was when I ruled the world <br /> <br />It was a wicked and wild wind <br />Blew down the doors to let me in <br />Shattered windows and the sound of drums <br />People couldn't believe what I'd become <br />Revolutionaries wait <br />For my head on a silver plate <br />Just a puppet on a lonely string <br />Oh who would ever want to be king? <br /> <br />I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing <br />Roman cavalry choirs are singing <br />Be my mirror, my sword and shield <br />My missionaries in a foreign field <br />For some reason I can't explain <br />I know St Peter won't call my name <br />Never an honest word <br />But that was when I ruled the world <br /> <br />Oh oh oh oh ohh oh [x5] <br /> <br />Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing <br />Roman cavalry choirs are singing <br />Be my mirror, my sword and shield <br />My missionaries in a foreign field <br />For some reason I can't explain <br />I know St Peter won't call my name <br />Never an honest word <br />But that was when I ruled the world
