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

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened 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

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs is 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
That was when I ruled the world

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?

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

Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh

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

Babilônia Maravilhosa

Hoje acordei nem li o jornal my brother
Eu te liguei pra dizer nada
Já é verão e a cidade ferve my brother
Andar no Rio com sol na cara

Falida, ferida cidade
Babilônia maravilhosa
Côco pelas praias da princesinha do mar
E em câmera lenta eu e você fazendo amor

Vem, vem dançar
A música não vai parar
Não, não
Vem, dance, dance, dance
O sonho não pode acabar

Rio cidade do arrepio essa é nossa casa my brother
Tem futebol, porrada no Maraca
Nossos heróis estão em maus lençóis my brother
Andar no fio dessa navalha

Rio caótico e agonizante
De antibiótico e anabolizante
A tua piada é uma desgraça
Corre tanto perigo quando a tua vidraça
No chiclete da criança
Um grito alucinado
E um punhal cravado na esperança
Recuperar as esquinas de antes
Te levarei a um céu de diamantes
