Taylor Swift ☆ Viva La Vida

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

Listen as the crowd would sing

“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”



One minute I held the keys

Next the doors were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand



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

But that was when I ruled the world



It was a 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



Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever wanna 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 Saint Peter won’t call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world



For some reason I can’t explain

I know Saint Peter won’t call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world
