May 7, 200818 yr Here's what we have so far (Thanks everyone!): "Viva la Vida" [Verse 1] I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sweep 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 sand, 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 know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh) [Verse 2] 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 wanna be king? [Chorus 2] 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 And that was when I ruled the world (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) [Chorus 3] 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 (Ooo Ooo Ooo)
May 7, 200818 yr ahh well done, sir!! I haven't confirmed any of this yet, but it seems to be as close as anyone will get! This is an amazing song.
May 7, 200818 yr Author I think the first "sweep" should be "sleep." You know, I thought that at first too... hmm....
May 7, 200818 yr i think thats almost right. great job! :) i can't work out those lines you couldn't get either. they're not very clear - the rest of it's pretty easy though.
May 7, 200818 yr Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate (Like John the Baptist from the Bible) I'm just a puppet on a lowly/lonely string? Pillars of sand... Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world
