Viva La Vida - Chris Mann

[00:02.81]
[00:13.11]I used to rule the world
[00:16.79]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:19.27]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:23.67]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:26.54]
[00:33.84]I used to roll the dice
[00:37.34]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:40.71]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:43.64]
[00:44.26]"Now the old king is dead
[00:46.26]Long live the king "
[00:47.26]One minute I held the key
[00:51.07]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:54.32]And I discovered that my castle stand
[00:57.37]
[00:57.94]Upon pillars of salt pillars of sand
[01:01.24]
[01:02.05]I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
[01:05.80]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:09.17]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:12.17]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:15.91]For some reason I can't explain
[01:19.52]Once you go there was never
[01:21.83]Never an honest world but that was when I ruled the world
[01:28.99]
[01:35.44]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:39.11]
[01:39.73]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:42.65]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:45.77]
[01:46.52]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:49.82]Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate
[01:56.26]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[01:59.82]
[02:00.64]Oh who would ever want to be king
[02:03.38]
[02:04.69]I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
[02:07.71]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:11.08]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:14.45]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:18.06]For some reason I can't explain
[02:21.50]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:24.57]Never an honest world but that was when I ruled the world
[02:33.02]
[02:37.43]I ruled the world
[02:39.93]
[02:40.62]I ruled the world
[02:44.92]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[02:54.10]
[02:54.79]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[03:00.40]I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
[03:02.72]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[03:05.97]
[03:06.78]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:09.59]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:13.33]For some reason I can't explain
[03:16.45]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[03:19.63]Never an honest word but that was when I ruled the world
