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...
Použil som vládnuť svetu
Morí by sa zdvihla, keď som dal slovo
Teraz v dopoludňajších hodinách, spím sám
Zametať ulice som použil na vlastnú
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
Kedysi som kocky
Cítiť strach v očiach mojich nepriateľov
Vypočujte si, ako dav spieval
Teraz je starý kráľ je mŕtvy, nech žije kráľ
držal Minútu som kľúč
Popri stenách boli uzavreté na mňa
A zistil som, že moje zámky stojí
Po pilierov soli a stĺpy piesku
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Počujem jeruzalemské zvony zvonia
Roman kavalérie zbory sú spev
Be my zrkadlo, môj meč a štít
Moja misionári v cudzom poli
Z nejakého dôvodu nemôžem vysvetliť
Potom, čo si šiel, tam nikdy nebol
Nikdy čestný slovo
A to bolo, keď som vládol svetu
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
Bol to zlý a divoký vietor
Fúkal dole dvere, aby ma pustil dnu
Rozbité okná a zvuk bubnov
Ľudia nemohli uveriť tomu, čo som sa stal
revolucionári čakania
Na moju hlavu na striebornom podnose
Len bábka na opustenom povrázku
Ale, kto by chcel byť kráľom?
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Počujem jeruzalemské zvony zvonia
Roman kavalérie zbory sú spev
Be my zrkadlo, môj meč a štít
Moja misionári v cudzom poli
Z nejakého dôvodu nemôžem vysvetliť
Viem, že svätý Peter nezavolá moje meno
Nikdy čestný slovo
Ale to bolo, keď som vládol svetu
[Most: 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
