[00:00.00]Viva La Vida -Facing West
[00:00.451]I used to rule the world
[00:05.64]Seas would rise when I gave the word
[00:07.852]Now in the morning I sleep alone
[00:13.16]Sweep the streets I used to own
[00:18.548]I used to roll the dice
[00:23.48]Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
[00:26.730]Listen as the crowd would sing
[00:31.251]Now the old king is dead long live the king
[00:34.368]One minute I held the key
[00:38.792]Next the walls were closed on me
[00:42.263]And I discovered that my castles stand
[00:47.24]Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[00:53.582]I hear jerusalem bells a ringing
[00:57.498]Roman calvary choirs are singing
[01:01.534]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[01:05.448]My missionaries in a foreign field
[01:09.661]For some reason I can't explain
[01:13.578]Once you go there was never
[01:16.707]Never an honest word
[01:20.886]And that was when I ruled the world
[01:25.895]It was the wicked and wild wind
[01:30.925]Blew down the doors to let me in
[01:34.192]Shattered windows and the sound of drums
[01:39.156]People couldn't believe what I'd become
[01:42.414]Revolutionaries wait
[01:47.166]For my head on a silver plate
[01:50.240]Just a puppet on a lonely string
[01:55.181]Oh who would ever want to be king
[01:59.434]I hear jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:03.649]Roman calvary choirs are singing
[02:07.545]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[02:11.470]My missionaries in a foreign field
[02:15.529]For some reason I can't explain
[02:19.394]I know saint peter won't call my name
[02:22.950]Never an honest word
[02:26.973]But that was when I ruled the world
[02:49.755]I hear jerusalem bells a ringing
[02:53.665]Roman calvary choirs are singing
[02:57.551]Be my mirror my sword and shield
[03:01.506]My missionaries in a foreign field
[03:05.563]For some reason I can't explain
[03:09.404]I know saint peter won't call my name
[03:12.960]Never an honest word
[03:17.45]But that was when I ruled the world
