Viva La Vida (The Voice Australia 2016 Performance) - Adam Ladell

Written by：Guy Berryman/Jonny Buckland/Will Champion/Chris Martin

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

Listened 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'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

For some reason I can't explain

Once you'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world
