[00:04.47]Chris Martin-Viva La Vida
[00:19.12]I used to rule the world
[00:21.87]
[00:22.56]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:25.43]Now in the morning I sweep alone
[00:28.75]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:31.87]
[00:32.81]I used to roll the dice
[00:41.76]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:45.26]Listen as the crowd would sing:
[00:48.76]"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[00:51.88]One minute I held the key
[00:54.71]
[00:55.39]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:58.33]And I discovered that my castles stand
[01:00.65]
[01:01.77]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[01:05.27]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[01:08.65]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[01:11.90]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:15.46]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:18.83]For some reason I can't explain
[01:21.77]Once you go there was never, never an honest word
[01:28.21]That was when I ruled the world
[01:31.27]
[01:37.78]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:41.66]Blew down the doors to let me in.
[01:44.10]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:47.47]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:51.03]Revolutionaries wait
[01:53.10]For my head on a silver plate
[01:56.97]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[02:00.28]Oh who would ever want to be king?
[02:04.07]
[02:16.82]I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:20.32]Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
[02:23.89]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:27.20]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:30.57]For some reason I can't explain
[02:33.64]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:37.14]Never an honest word
[02:40.51]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:42.98]Never an honest word
[02:46.23]
[02:46.79]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:49.42]
