Viva la Vida (Performance) - Yoandri Cabrera

Written by：Christopher Anthony John Martin/Guy Rupert Berryman/Jonathan Mark Buckland/William Champion

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 are ringing

Roman Cavalry are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

Missonaries in a foreign field

For some reason that I can't explain

Once you'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and a 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

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But was when I ruled the world
