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 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
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
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
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
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'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
It was the 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?
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[Bridge: Will, Jonny, Guy, Brian]
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
[Breakdown: Chris Martin & Will, Jonny, Guy & Brian]
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) My missionaries in a foreign field
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) For some reason I can't explain
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[Outro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm...
vladao sam svijetom
Mora bi porasti kada sam dao riječ
Ujutro spavam sama
Pomesti ulicama sam koristio za vlastite
[Redak 2: Chris Martin]
Ja se bacite kockice
Osjetite strah u moj neprijatelj očima
Poslušajte kako je publika će pjevati
Sada je stari kralj je mrtav, Živio kralj
U jednom trenutku sam je ključ
Sljedeća zidovima su bile zatvorene na mene
I otkrio sam da su moji dvorci stoje
Na stupove soli i stupovima pijeska
[Hor: Chris Martin]
Čujem Jeruzalem zvona su zvonjenja
Rimska konjica zborovi pjevaju
Budi moj ogledalo, moj mač i štit
Moji misionari u stranom polju
Iz nekog razloga ne mogu objasniti
Nakon što je otišao tamo nikada nije bio
Nikad pošten riječ
I to je bilo kad sam vladao svijetom
[Redak 3: Chris Martin]
To je bio zli i divlji vjetar
Puhao niz vrata da me pusti unutra
Shattered prozori i zvuk bubnjeva
Ljudi ne mogu vjerovati što sam postao
revolucionari čekati
Za moju glavu na srebrnom tanjuru
Samo lutka na osamljenom nizu
O, tko bi ikad htio biti kralj?
[Hor: Chris Martin]
Čujem Jeruzalem zvona su zvonjenja
Rimska konjica zborovi pjevaju
Budi moj ogledalo, moj mač i štit
Moji misionari u stranom polju
Iz nekog razloga ne mogu objasniti
Znam Sveti Petar neće zvati moje ime
Nikad pošten riječ
Ali to je bilo kad sam vladao svijetom
[Most: Hoće li Jonny Guy Brian]
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
[Podjela: Chris Martin i Will, Jonny Guy & Brian]
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) čujem Jerusalem zvona su zvonjenja
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) rimska konjica zborovi pjevaju

(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Moji misionari u stranom polju
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Iz nekog razloga ne mogu objasniti
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Znam Sveti Petar neće zvati moje ime
