Viva La Vida歌词

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 enemy's 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 castle stand

Upon pillars of salt pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells 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
Once you go there was never
Never an honest world but that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind

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

Oh who would ever want to be king

I hear Jerusalem bells 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 world but that was when I ruled the world

I ruled the world

I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I hear Jerusalem bells 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
