Karaoké Viva La Vida Boyce Avenue

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 are 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'd gone 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 are 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 and that was when

I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I hear Jerusalem bells are 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
