Viva La Vida by Coldplay

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"



One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People could not 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?
