Viva La Vida
Katie Herzig Song Lyrics

Artist: Katie Herzig

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
Listened as the crowd would sing
He said '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 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 you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world.

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?

Oh oh oh, oh...
Oh oh oh, oh...
Oh oh oh, oh...
Oh oh oh, oh...

Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world.

Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world.

Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world.
