Coldplay VIVA LA VIDA (美しき生命) 歌詞

歌：Coldplay

作詞：BERRYMAN GUY RUPERT

作曲：BUCKLAND JONATHAN MARK

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
Listened 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
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

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 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 St. Peter
won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

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 St. Peter
won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world
