Viva La Vida - Coldplay Cover

Me covering Viva la Vida. My first time using a mic and a somewhat decent camera, and I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the results :] (Thanks to Hyunsoo and Onji for those)

Verse 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

Verse 2:
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!"

Verse 3:
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

Chorus:
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
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Verse 4:
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

Verse 5:
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Is there someone else there?

I recorded my voice twice into the video. First, I recorded my guitar and voice in one run, and then recorded only the harmony and integrated it into the video.
