Karaoké Viva la Vida Scary Pockets & Maiya Sykes

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Wooh tah dah dei

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the mornin' I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

Dah dah dah mmh dah

Oh I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen to crowds and crowds would sing

But now the old king is dead

Long live the king

One minute I held the key

Next the walls closed on me

And I discovered my castle stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are 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

Once you'd go there was never

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

When I ruled the world

Gooh 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

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 ringin'

Roman Calvary 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 Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world

Ho oh ho ho oh oh

Ho oh ho ho oh ho

Ho oh ho ho oh oh oh oh oh

Ho oh ho ho oh ho

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringin'

Roman Calvary 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 Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word but that was when I ruled the world
