Chris Martin: I used to rule the world
Chris Martin: Seas would rise when I gave the word
Chris Martin: Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Chris Martin: Sweep the streets I used to own
Chris Martin: I used to roll the dice
Chris Martin: Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Chris Martin: Listen as the crowd would sing
Chris Martin: "Now the old king is dead, long live the king"
Chris Martin: One minute, I held the key
Chris Martin: Next, the walls were closed on me
Chris Martin: And I discovered that my castles stand
Chris Martin: Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chris Martin: I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Chris Martin: Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Chris Martin: Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Chris Martin: My missionaries in a foreign field
Chris Martin: For some reason, I can't explain
Chris Martin: Once you'd gone, there was never
Chris Martin: Never an honest word
Chris Martin: And that was when I ruled the world
Chris Martin: It was a wicked and wild wind
Chris Martin: Blew down the doors to let me in
Chris Martin: Shattered windows and the sound of drums
Chris Martin: People couldn't believe what I'd become
Chris Martin: Revolutionaries wait
Chris Martin: For my head on a silver plate
Chris Martin: Just a puppet on a lonely string
Chris Martin: Aw, who would ever wanna be king?
Chris Martin: I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Chris Martin: Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Chris Martin: Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Chris Martin: My missionaries in a foreign field
Chris Martin: For some reason, I can't explain
Chris Martin: I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Chris Martin: Never an honest word
Chris Martin: But that was when I ruled the world
Chris Martin: That was when I ruled the world
Chris Martin: Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Chris Martin: Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Chris Martin: Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Chris Martin: My missionaries in a foreign field
Chris Martin: For some reason, I can't explain
Chris Martin: I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Chris Martin: Never an honest word
Chris Martin: But that was when I ruled the world
Chris Martin: That was when I ruled the world
