Coldplay - Viva la vida
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 xxxtentacion ★
Love is not kisses, hugs, sharing
Presents on your birthday, pictures of making love
It’s dedication, trust and patience and compromise
Now do or die, ultimatums for you and i
I feel the vibe between us fading and i hate it
I cut myself constantly i hate myself for creating
Pain within your heart and i’m thinking
This pistol's tempting to scream it out
To my demons get even within yourself
She’s crying she needs your help
And you’re selfish think ‘bout yourself
All these problems created
Extended from hate with self
And i hope that you wouldn’t leave
But the patience that you would need
Is the patience of several gods
Hanging on to my selfish please
And i’m sorry, you deserve better
I wanted more for you, you hanging on
You being strong and i want more for you
As long as you won’t, leave me in the end
We both can still pretend
That this life we live in is worth it i promise
★ 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...

Biography
Their debut album, Parachutes, released in 2000, initially drew comparisons to Radiohead for their elegant, melodic sound. However, Coldplay's ability to create emotional hooks and evolve their sound set them apart. Their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, showcased a more mature and sophisticated sound, earning them a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
Coldplay continued to experiment with their sound, incorporating rock elements in albums like X&Y and exploring electronic influences in albums such as Mylo Xyloto, Ghost Stories, and A Head Full of Dreams. Their fourth album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, produced by Brian Eno, further broadened their sonic landscapes and garnered critical acclaim.
Despite their commercial success, Coldplay has faced criticism for their supposedly derivative nature and emotional lyrics. However, their ability to craft stadium-ready anthems has solidified their status as a powerhouse in the music industry.
With over 80 million albums sold, Coldplay has left a lasting impact on the rock music scene of the 21st century. Whether seen as a symbol of all that is wrong with modern rock or a talented band with a knack for creating memorable songs, Coldplay's influence on the music world is undeniable.
