one direction viva la vida


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 minuto I held the key. siguiente 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 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 tu go there was never. Never an honest word
and 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 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. But that was when I ruled the world.X2
