Viva La Vida - Darin

[00:05.57]I used to rule the world
[00:09.46]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:12.44]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:17.04]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:32.07]I used to roll the dice
[00:32.35]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:35.59]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:40.29]"Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
[00:43.43]One minute I held the key
[00:47.52]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:50.78]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:55.39]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:07.31]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:10.68]Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[01:14.74]Be my mirror, my sword and shield
[01:18.41]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:22.31]For some reason I can't explain
[01:26.10]Once you go, there was never
[01:31.38]Never an honest word
[01:33.73]But that was when I ruled the world
[01:44.47]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:48.61]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:51.34]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:56.22]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:59.69]Revolutionaries wait
[02:03.67]For my head on a silver plate
[02:06.86]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:11.34]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:15.67]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:19.41]Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[02:23.15]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:26.93]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:30.86]For some reason I can't explain
[02:34.71]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:39.69]Never an honest word
[02:41.17]But that was when I ruled the world
[03:02.56](Ohh, ohh, ohh)
[03:31.89]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[03:34.33]Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[03:39.33]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:43.27]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:46.89]For some reason I can't explain
[03:50.56]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:54.47]Never an honest word
[03:57.87]But that was when I ruled the world
[04:33.19]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[04:33.19]Roman Catholic choirs are singing
[04:33.19]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[04:33.19]My missionaries in a foreign field
[04:33.19]For some reason I can't explain
[04:33.19]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[04:33.19]Never an honest word
[04:33.19]But that was when I ruled the world
