Lyrics and questions:

VIVA LA VIDA BY COLDPLAY AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

(1)    I used to rule the _____________

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sweep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

(2)    I used to roll the ______________

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing:

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

(3)    One minute I held the key

Next the walls were ___________ 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 ____________ 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

(Ohhh)

(4)    It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in.

Shattered windows and the sound of _____________

People couldn't believe what I'd become

(5)    Revolutionaries wait

For my _______________ 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 _____________ 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

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my _____________ 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
