VIVA LA VIDA (Martin, C. - Coldplay)
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
Listened 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 and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason I
can't explain
Once you'd gone
there was never
Never an honest
word
And that was when
I ruled the world
It was a 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?
