Coldplay Viva La Vida 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 that i used to own

I used to roll the dice
feel the fear in my enemies eyes
listen as the crownd would sing:

"Now the old king is dead long live the king!"

One Minute i held the key
Next the walls had closed on me
I discovered that my castles Stand
Upon Pillars Of Salt and pillars of sand

Chorus:

"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"

(ohhh)

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 of what i've become

Revoloutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be King?

(Chorus)

Oh.. Oh.. Ohh.. Oh.. OHHH OH
(repeated)

(Chorus)

PEACE! :)

@busyscenes

"That was when I ruled the world" is just a reprising line that sounds good. It restates that he no longer is glorious, and will die soon. That was when Napoleon was in exile. Even if they are British that doesen't mean they don't have to write a song about Napoleon. I'm Russian and I respect Napoleon alot in fact hes kind of like my idol. He came from an minor noble family and ended up as an emperor. I think you should research a little more.

awwwww yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[busyscenes]

@1THEFRETSBAND Yeah Europe not the world, The British controlled at 1/4 of Earth land mass at it's peak. Plus he was'nt a King.

[fckthisbches]

just listen and enjoy. stop over-complicating things.

[busyscenes]

@manmadeSniper4 Why is it clearly not? its the most important part of British history. They are British. Look it up I think you'll find it is about the British Empire. I think they made it universal on purpose though. It made people talk about it more I guess/open to interpretation.

[busyscenes]

@luli25433 They said its about a The British Empire, check on wiki. Why would they care about Napoleon anyway they're British. Napoleon didn't ever 'rule the world' either.

Coldplay never gets old!!!!
