viva la vida - new lyrics
I used to rule the world
I used to chase the sun so high
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Mountains moved when I walked on by
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Now in the morning I stand alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
Tracing steps I used to own
I used to roll the dice
I used to reach for more and more
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
hear my dreams knock on every door
Listen as the crowd would sing
Echoes cheered when I took my flight
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
Now they whisper in the dead of night
One minute, I held the key
One moment I touched the sky
And I discovered that my castles stand
And I found the tallest peaks
Next the walls were closed on me
Next the world just passed me by
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Are built on cracks that run so deep
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
I hear the silence call my name
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
winds are howling, skies are gray
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Be my fire, my guiding light
My missionaries in a foreign field
Through the storm that shakes the night.
For some reason, I can't explain
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone
Once I fell
there was never
But I'll rise again
never an honest word
Falling’s just a part of flight,
And that was when I ruled the world
And I will find the strenght to fight
It was a wicked and wild wind
It was reckless and wild road
Blew down the doors to let me in
Chased the stars but lost control
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
Shattered windows, the world caved in
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Didn't know who I was back then
Revolutionaries wait
now the tides begin to turn
For my head on a silver plate
Lessons learned, bridges burned,
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Once a puppet lost in strings
Aw, who would ever wanna be king?
Now I know I don't need to be king
