Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world seas would rice when I gave the world Now in the morning I sweep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice fell 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 cavalry choirs are singing be my mirror my sword and shield my missionaires 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 Revolutionaires 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 a ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaires in a foreign field for some reason I can´t explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word but that was when I ruled the world I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield my missionaires in a foreign field for some reason I can´t explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word but that was when I ruled the world
