Coldplay - 2007
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 enemies 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 |
|
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 |
|
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh |
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh |
|
