Viva la Vida

LRC Produced By Prince William


Album:Viva la Vida (CD Single)



Coldplay-Viva la Vida (New Edit)




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

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 on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt

and pillars of sand



I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

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 a wicked and wild wind
