2 ContributorsViva La Vida (The Voice Performance) Lyrics [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] One minute I held the key Next, the walls were closed on me I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand [Chorus] 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 And that was when I ruled the world [Verse 3] It was a 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 [Pre-Chorus] Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh, who would ever want to be the king? Oh, oh whoa [Chorus] 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 That was when I ruled the world [Outro] Ooh (Ooh, ooh) Ooh (Ooh, ooh) Ooh (Ooh, ooh)
