Viva La Vida (Live) by Coldplay

(Oh... oh... oh...)
I used to (1)________ the world
Seas would rise when I (2)________ 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 (3)__________ would sing
Now the old (4)________ is dead long (5)________ 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
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And (6)________ 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 (7)____________ string
Oh who would ever (8)________ to be king?...
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 (9)________ 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
...
(Oh... oh... oh...)

I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Oh... oh... oh...)
(Muchísimas gracias...)
