Viva La Vida by Coldplay Lyrics
This is one of my absolute favorite songs! Enjoy it like I do! :)
________________________________
I used to role the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own.
-Music-
I used to role 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 doors were closed on me
And I discovered that my castle stood,
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand.
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing,
Roman Cavalry choirs a-singing,
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield,
My Missionaries in a foreign field,
For some reason I cant explain,
Once you go, there was never,
never an honest word,
and that was when I ruled the world.
-Music-
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 a-ringing,
Roman Cavalry choirs a-singing,
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield,
My Missionaries in a foreign field,
For some reason I cant explain,
I know Saint Peter wont call my name,
never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.
-Music-
Whoaaaaa.....
Whoaaaaa.....
(Repeated)
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing,
Roman Cavalry choirs a-singing,
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield,
My Missionaries in a foreign field,
For some reason I cant explain,
I know Saint Peter wont call my name,
never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.
Mmmm......
