pet shop boys – viva la vida lyrics
watch them all fall down
watch them all fall down
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
now i discovered that my castles stand
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
i hear jerusalem bells a-ringin’
roman cavalry choirs are singin’
be my mirror, my sword and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i can’t explain
i know st. peter won’t call my name
never an honest word
and that was when i ruled the world
it was a wicked and wild wind
blew 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-ringin’
roman cavalry choirs are singin’
be my mirror, my sword and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i can’t explain
i know st. peter won’t call my name
never an honest word
but that was when i ruled the world
watch them all fall down
watch them all fall down
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
