What are the lyrics to Coldplay's Viva la Vida?

Answer 1

: 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 : 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 are ringing : Roman Cavalry 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 it was never : Never an honest word : That was when I ruled the world : It was the wicked and wild wind : Blew down the doors to let me in : Shattered windows and the sound of drums : People could not believe 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? : I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing : Roman Cavalry 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 : And that was when I ruled the world Whoa-oa-oah! Whoa-oa-oah! (3x) : I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing : Roman Cavalry 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 will call my name : Never an honest word : But that was when I ruled the world Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. (2x)

first off, it is 'viva la vida', not ''vive la vida''. Here are the lyrics: 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 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 Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry 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 know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe 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? I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry 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 work But that was when I ruled the world (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh) Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry 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 will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world (Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh) lyrics courtesy of letssingit.com
