Viva La Vida (Bossa Version) - Daniela Procopio/Berryman

Written by：Guy Berryman/Jon Buckland/Will Chapion/Chris Martin

I used to rule the world

Seas 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 cannot explain

Once you know there was never

Never an moments word

That was when I ruled the world

Hmmm ayeee

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People could not 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 will call my name

Never an moment word

But that was when I ruled the world
