    Viva La Vida - Coldplay

    Uploaded by

    The song describes a fall from power and glory. The singer used to rule the world, give orders to the seas, and hold the keys to his kingdom. However, he has now been dethroned, as the walls closed around him and his castles were built on sand. He now sweeps the streets alone that he once owned. Though he hears the bells of Jerusalem ringing, he knows that Saint Peter will call his name, as there was never an honest word when he ruled the world.

    Coldplay Viva La Vida

    I used to rule the world It was the wicked and wild wind
    Seas would rise when I gave the word Blew down the doors to let me in.
    Now in the morning I sweep alone Shattered windows and the sound of
    Sweep the streets I used to own drums
    I used to roll the dice People could not believe what Id
    Feel the fear in my enemys eyes become
    Listen as the crowd would sing: Revolutionaries Wait
    Now the old king is dead! For my head on a silver plate
    Long live the king! Just a puppet on a lonely string
    One minute I held the key Oh who would ever want to be king?
    Next the walls were closed on me I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    And I discovered that my castles stand Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand Be my mirror my sword and shield
    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing My missionaries in a foreign field
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing For some reason I can not explain
    Be my mirror my sword and shield I know Saint Peter will call my name
    My missionaries in a foreign field Never an honest word
    For some reason I can not explain And that was when I ruled the world
    Once you know there was never, (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
    never an honest word
    hat was when I ruled the world(Ohhh) Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can not explain
    I know Saint Peter will call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world
    Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

    Traduzione testo Coldplay Viva La Vida

    Io dominavo il mondo / le maree si alzavano quando lo ordinavo / adesso al mattino spazzo da solo / spazzo le strade
    che una volta possedevoio tiravo i dadi / vedevo la paura negli occhi dei miei nemici / sentivo la folla cantare / adesso
    il vecchio re morto! lunga vita al re!un momento tenevo le chiavi / subito dopo mi rinchiudevano fra quattro mura /
    ed ho scoperto che i miei castelli avevano fondamenta di sabbia, colonne di sabbiasento le campane di Gerusalemme
    suonarei cori della cavalleria romana / Siate il mio specchio, la mia spada e scudoi miei missionari in un territorio
    straniero / per alcune ragioni che non so spiegare / Una volta lo sai che non cera mai una parola onesta, maima quello
    era quando dominavo il mondo / (ohh)Ed il dannato selvaggio ventoha buttato gi le porte per farmi entrare. / Finestre
    infrante ed il suono dei tamburi / la gente non credeva a ci che ero divenutoi rivoluzionari volevano / la mia testa su
    un piatto dargento / Solo un pupazzo con un unico filo / chi mai vorrebbe essere un re?sento le campane di
    Gerusalemme suonarei cori della cavalleria romana / Siate il mio specchio, la mia spada e scudoi miei missionari in un
    territorio stranieroper alcune ragioni che non so spiegare / So che San Pietro mi chiamer / Mai una parola onestama
    quello era quando dominavo il mondo (ohh)sento le campane di Gerusalemme suonarei cori della cavalleria romana
    Siate il mio specchio, la mia spada e scudoi miei missionari in un territorio stranieroper alcune ragioni che non so
    spiegareSo che San Pietro mi chiamerMai una parola onestama quello era quando dominavo il mondo(ohh)
