Viva La Vida (Live) Lyrics
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the wordNow 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 castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Calvary s 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 word
And 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?
Now I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Calvary s 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 oooooh oh...
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Calvary s 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
