  Coldplay Viva La Vida Lyrics
  

  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 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 (Ooooh)
  
  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

  Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
  
  (repeat with chorus)

  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
  
  I know Saint Peter won't call my name
  
  Never an honest word
  
  But that was when I ruled the world
  
  Oooooooh Oooooooh Oooooooh
