Viva La Vida

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 hear Jerusalem bells a ringing roman cavalry choris 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 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 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'd gone there was never Never an honest Word And that was when i ruled the world
