Lyrics:
Viva La Vida
by Coldplay
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 key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and 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
And that was when I ruled the world
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
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 Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
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
A Possible Song Meaning:
by Tordle420
At one point in time I was a great king
I was so powerful/egotistical that
I could command anyone to do anything
Now ( present time )
I sleep alone because my kingdom has fallen
And I think about all that was once mine
I would conquer nations
and feel the fear in their leaders when battle neared
Once we had defeated them
Their people would sing "praise the king"
And be happy he is their new leader
I was the most powerful person
Then all the weight of my power began to collapse on me
Everything I told people was a lie
And my rule was a dictatorship disguised
Full of lies and cover up
All the people were looking to me
To guide them, protect them
And know what to do
For some reason
Once you become powerful you begin to lie
And the lies built up
and that happened to me
When they began to overthrow me
It was a revolution
Drums and riots in the streets
People hated me
People waited for my execution
I was used and corrupted, this comes with power
Who would ever want this, it is not what people think it is
For some reason I was not executed
Although I lied and was corrupt
That was when I ruled the world
