Viva La Vida

I hear Jerusalem bells
Roman cavalry choirs
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Be my mirror my sword
Missionaries in a foreign field
But that was when I ruled the world

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
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 are 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
But that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and a wild wind
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
Oh who would ever want to be king

Oh....
For some reason I can’t explain
I know St. Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Fix You

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
And you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try, and I will try...
To fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
And I will try to fix you

High up above and down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know...

Tears stream down your face
And I will try to fix you

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you...

Nobody said it was easy
Ah...
