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
Aw, 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...
Včasih sem, da vlada svetu
Seas bi dvignila, ko sem dal besedo
Zdaj zjutraj, spim sama
Sweep ulice sem se uporabljajo za lastne
[Verz 2: Chris Martin]
Včasih sem roll kocke
Čutijo strah v moj sovražnik očeh
Poslušaj, saj bi množica pela
Zdaj je stara Kralj je mrtev, naj živi kralj
potekala Eno minuto sem ključ
Naslednja stenah so bili zaprti na meni
In sem ugotovil, da stojijo moji gradovi
Po stebrov soli in stebrov peska
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Slišal sem, da Jeruzalem zvonovi so zvonjenje
Roman konjenica zbori so petje
Bodi moj ogledalo, moj meč in ščit
Moje misijonarji v tujem polju
Iz neznanega razloga ne morem razložiti
Ko boš odšel, ni bilo nikoli
Nikoli pošten beseda
In to je bilo, ko sem vladal svetu
[Verz 3: Chris Martin]
To je bil zloben in divji veter
Pihal navzdol vrat, da me pusti pri
Razbili okna in zvok bobnov
Ljudje niso mogli verjeti, kaj sem postal
revolucionarji čakati
Za mojo glavo na srebrnem pladnju
Samo lutka na samotni niz
Ah, kdo bi kdaj želeli biti kralj?
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Slišal sem, da Jeruzalem zvonovi so zvonjenje
Roman konjenica zbori so petje
Bodi moj ogledalo, moj meč in ščit
Moje misijonarji v tujem polju
Iz neznanega razloga ne morem razložiti
Vem, Sveti Peter ne bo poklical moje ime
Nikoli pošten beseda
Ampak to je bilo, ko sem vladal svetu
[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
[Sestava: Chris Martin in Will, Jonny, Guy, Brian]
(Oh-oh-Woah, oh, oh, oh)
Slišal sem, da Jeruzalem zvonovi so zvonjenje
(Oh-oh-Woah, oh, oh, oh)
Roman konjenica zbori so petje
(Oh-oh-Woah, oh, oh, oh)
Bodi moj ogledalo, moj meč in ščit
(Oh-oh-Woah, oh, oh, oh)
Moje misijonarji v tujem polju
(Oh-oh-Woah, oh, oh, oh)
Iz neznanega razloga ne morem razložiti
(Oh-oh-Woah, oh, oh, oh)
Vem, Sveti Peter ne bo poklical moje ime
Nikoli pošten beseda
