[00:00.00]Viva la Vida - Boyce Avenue
[00:00.31]I used to rule the world
[00:03.35]
[00:03.94]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:06.40]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:10.05]
[00:10.72]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:14.13]
[00:27.78]I used to roll the dice
[00:30.61]
[00:31.45]Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
[00:34.48]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:37.57]
[00:38.35]Now the old king is dead long live the king
[00:41.06]One minute I held the key
[00:44.37]
[00:44.95]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:47.78]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:51.12]
[00:52.03]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[00:55.05]
[00:55.76]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[00:59.23]Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[01:02.13]
[01:02.71]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:06.17]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:08.94]
[01:09.58]For some reason I can't explain
[01:12.39]
[01:13.08]Once you know there was never never an honest word
[01:18.95]
[01:19.48]That was when I ruled the world
[01:22.35]
[01:35.84]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:39.21]
[01:40.00]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:42.53]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:46.23]
[01:46.83]People could not believe what I'd become
[01:50.04]Revolutionaries wait
[01:52.97]
[01:53.55]For my head on a silver plate
[01:56.35]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[01:59.65]
[02:00.66]Oh who would ever want to be king
[02:03.40]
[02:04.47]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
[02:07.29]
[02:07.91]Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[02:10.74]
[02:11.32]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:14.14]
[02:14.73]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:17.50]
[02:18.09]For some reason I cannot explain
[02:21.02]
[02:21.57]I know Saint Peter won't call my name
[02:24.43]Never an honest word
[02:27.83]And that was when I ruled the world
[02:30.93]
[02:44.44]Ohhhhh ohhh ohhh
[02:47.05]
[02:47.68]Ohhhhh ohhh ohhh
[02:51.07]Ohhhhh ohhh ohhh
[02:54.56]Ohhhhh ohhh ohhh
[02:57.63]
[02:59.19]I hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
[03:02.14]
[03:02.73]Roman cavalry choirs are singing
[03:05.62]
[03:06.18]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:08.96]
[03:09.50]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:12.38]
[03:12.91]For some reason I cannot explain
[03:16.34]I know Saint Peter will call my name
[03:19.33]Never an honest word
[03:22.18]
[03:22.81]But that was when I ruled the world
