Viva La Vida Songtext
Viva La Vida Übersetzung
I used to rule the world.rnSeas had rise when I gave the word.rnNow in the morning I sleep alone.rnSweep the streets I used to own.rnrnI used to roll the dives,rnFeel the fear in my enemy's eyes.rnListen as the crowd would sing:rn'Now the old king is dead. Long live the king!'.rnrnOne minute I held the key,rnNext the walls were closed on me.rnAnd I discovered that my castles standrnUpon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand.rnrnI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,rnRoman Cavalry choirs are singing.rnBe my mirror, my sword and shield,rnMy missionaries in a foreign field.rnFor some reason I can't explain,rnOnce you know there was never,rnNever an honest word.rnThat was when I ruled the world.rnrnIt was the wicked and wild wind,rnBlew down the doors to let me in.rnShattered windows in the sound of drums.rnPeople couldn't believe what I'd become.rnRevolutionaries waitrnFor my head on a silver plate.rnJust a puppet on a lonely string.rnOh who would ever want to be king?rnrnI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,rnRoman Cavalry choirs are singing.rnBe my mirror, my sword and shield,rnMy missionaries in a foreign field.rnFor some reason I can't explain,rnI know Saint Peter won't call my name.rnNever an honest word,rnBut that was when I ruled the world.rnrnHear Jerusalem bells are ringing,rnRoman Cavalry choirs are singing.rnBe my mirror, my sword and shield,rnMy missionaries in a foreign field.rnFor some reason I can't explain,rnI know Saint Peter will call my name.rnNever an honest word,rnBut that was when I ruled the world.
