viva la vida

　　viva la vida 　
　　I used to rule the world 　 小荷作文网 www.zww.cn
　　Seas would rise when I gave the word 　 小 荷 作文网 www.zww.cn
　　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 　
　　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
