Viva La Vida

(Coldplay)

I used to order a world
Seas would arise when we gave a word
Now in a morning we nap alone
Sweep a streets we used to own

I used to hurl a dice
Feel a fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as a throng would sing
“Now a aged aristocrat is dead! Long live a king!”

One notation we hold a key
Next a walls were sealed on me
And we detected that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and 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 unfamiliar field

For some reason we can’t explain
Once we go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when we ruled a world

It was a disagreeable and furious wind
Blew down a doors to let me in
Shattered windows and a sound of drums
People couldn’t trust what I’d become

Revolutionaries wait
For my conduct on a china plate
Just a puppet on a waste string
Oh who would ever wish to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a unfamiliar field

For some reason we can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when we ruled a world

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a unfamiliar field

For some reason we can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when we ruled a world
