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 toVIVA 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
(music playing...)
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 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
(music playing...)
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?
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
I know Saint Peter won't call
my name
Never an honest word
But that was when i ruled the
world
(music playing...)
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
I know Saint Peter won't call
my name
Never and honest word
But that was when i ruled the
