Viva la vida ...

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 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 go there was never, never 

an honest word That was when I ruled the world ...
