★ verse 1: chris martin ★ 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
★ 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

Coldplay, a British rock band formed in 1997, has become one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium. The band was founded by University College London classmates Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion. Originally known as Pectoralz and then Starfish, they eventually settled on the name Coldplay, inspired by a student at their university.
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.
