Viva la Vida (arr. G. Anderson and E. J. Roe)

I used to rule the world
Seas wold rise when I gave the world
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
Listened 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 to me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Ihear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs is singing
Be my mirror, my sworld and shied
My missionaries in foreing field
For some reasn I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an hotest world
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windowns and the sound of drums
People couldn't belive 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?
Ihear Jerusalem bells ringing
Roman Calvary 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 world
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Hear Jerusalem bell 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 world
But that was when I ruled the world
End
