Viva La Vida sing and play along

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 own.

I used to roll the dice,

feel the fear in my enemies' eyes.

shat 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 salt and pillars of sand.

I hear Jerusalem bells aringing, Roman Catholic 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'd gone there was never,

never an honest word, and that was when I ruled the world.

It was the wicked and can't explain,

I know Saint Peter won't call my name.

Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.

Oh,

oh,

oh,

oh,

I hear Jerusalem bells aringing, Roman Catholic 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 Saint Peter won't call my name.

Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.

Oo.
