Coldplay Viva La Vida Lyrics
Songwriters: N/A
Complimentary "Viva La Vida" Ringtone 

第一次听他的时候找到了我最初听到Yellow的悸动，强悍的宗教韵味的歌词把思绪带回到那个充满传奇和战争的年代，悠远空旷带有神秘色彩的旋律足够让人浑身起鸡皮疙瘩了。

我曾统治世界，大海也愿为我咆哮。

如今在清晨我独自清扫，清扫我曾经拥有的街道。

我曾以命运豪赌，享受敌人眼中的恐惧，听人们高喊：“先王已逝，新王万岁！”

大权刚刚在手，城墙立即将我禁闭,

我这才发现我城堡的基石，竟如散沙盐粒般脆弱无力。
　　
我听到耶路撒冷的钟鸣，罗马骑兵军歌嘹亮。

剑与盾映出我的人生，我的使徒远赴外域。

我也无法解释，你走以后，再从未听过

从未听过之字真言，那就是我主宰世界的年月。
　　
邪恶的狂风为我清道，冲破重重门将我引入，

狼藉一片，鼓声四起。人民不敢相信我的归宿。

革命者盼着银盘中摆着我的头颅。

不过是命悬一线的傀儡，还有谁愿成王？
　　
听耶路撒冷的钟鸣，罗马骑兵军歌嘹亮。

剑与盾映出我的人生，我的使徒远赴外域。

我也无法解释，我知道没人会对我忠诚。

从未听过之字真言，那就是我曾呼风唤雨的岁月。

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 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

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 some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never,
never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
　　
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?

　　
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 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
