Darin Lyrics for Song: Viva La Vida
 Lyrics for Album: Lovekiller [2010]
 
 
 
 36491>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 Catholic 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
 
 But that was when I ruled the world
 
 (Ohh)
 
 
 
 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 Catholic 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
 
 (Ohh, ohh, ohh)
 
 
 
 I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
 
 Roman Catholic 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
 
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
