Viva la Vida!!!

I used to rule the world,Seas would rise

when I gave the word.Now in the morning

I sweep alone,Sweep the streets, I used to own,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 sand,

pillars of sand,I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry

choirs are singing,Be my mirror my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason

I can not explain,Once you know there was never,

never an honest word That was when I ruled the world

(Ohhh)...It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in.Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People could not 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? ...
