Viva La Vida (Live) by Coldplay
(Oh... oh... oh...)
I used to rule the world
Seas would (1)________ 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 (2)________ the key
Next the walls were (3)____________ on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and (4)______________ of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
Missionaries in a (5)______________ 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 (6)____________ and wild wind
Blew down the (7)__________ 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 a-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 St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But (8)________ was when I ruled the world
...
(Oh... oh... oh...)
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My (9)________________________ in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I (10)________ St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Oh... oh... oh...)
(MuchÃsimas gracias...)
