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 that I used to own I used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemies eyes Listen as the crown 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 castle stands upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand. I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman calvary choirs a-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 But that was when I ruled the world. Instrumental It was a wicked and wild wind blew down the doors to let me in shattered windows and the sound of drums and people couldn't believe what I'd become Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lowly string I said, 'Who would ever wanna be king?' I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman Calvary choirs a-singing Be my mirror, my sword, my 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 Instrumental! I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman Calvary choirs a-singing Be my mirror, my sword, my 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 But that was when I ruled the world X2
