I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing / Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Viva la Vida, by Coldplay I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to o w n I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would s i n g , "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 salt, and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem b e l l s a-ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword, and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you've gone, there was never, never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't b e l i e v e 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? I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword, and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know St. Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword, and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know St. Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I r u l e d the world
