[Chorus: Chris Martin] Now I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Calvary Choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword, my shield 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 Lights on [Bridge: Chris Martin, Crowd] C'mon, c'mon, c'mon Okay, let 'em hear Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh [Chorus: Chris Martin] I bear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Calvary Choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword, my shield 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 [Outro: Crowd, Chris Martin] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Everybody, put your hands in the air Everybody, put your hands in the air Please everybody, put your hands in the air
