Viva La Vida (TXF)

I use 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 use to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

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 Jesusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreing field 

For some reason I can't explain

One you go there was never, never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world.

I hear Jesusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreing field 

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name.

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world.
