(1)

I used to rule the world

('used to' '~ ' . "We used to have to clean people's apartments." (Chris Martin) . " ." . . .)
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

(dice . die dice . 'roll the dice' ' ' ', ' . "I rolled the dice and paid my one dollar for the lottery ticket." " 1 ." .)

Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes

(fear ', ' . ' ' . "Fear not.", " " ? "Don't be afraid." . . fear 'fear the worst' . ' ' . "When the doctor called, he feared the worst." " ." .)
Listen as the crowd would sing:

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

" ! , !"

("Long live the king!" . " ", "" .)

One minute I held the key

('hold the key', ' ' . power, . "You hold the key to my heart." " .", .)
Next the walls were closed on me

( 'close on me' 'closed in on me' . 'close in' '~ , , ' . "The police closed in on the murder suspect." " ." .)
And I discovered that my castles stand

,
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

,

( . , , , .)

'Viva La Vida' , 1 . frontman, ' ' (Frida Kahlo) . , . 47 . . 'Viva La Vida ( )' . " " , .

()
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing


Roman Cavalry choirs are singing


Be my mirror my sword and shield

, ,

( mirror, . 'smoke and mirrors' . ' , ' . "It's all smoke and mirrors." "Nothing is clear." . .)

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

('for some reason' 'for some reason or other' . ' , ' . "For some reason or other, I don't want to go out today." " ." .)

Once you go there was never,

,

Never an honest word


That was when I ruled the world



. 'Viva La Vida', 1830 ' ' . . . 1830 7 . 10 . 10 . . ' ' . 'Viva La Vida' . .

It was the wicked and wild wind

(wicked ', ' . ' , ' . ' , , ' . "He is a wicked tennis player." " ." . sick . sick '' "He's sick." "He's so good." . " . ." .)
Blew down the doors to let me in.

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

(shatter ? "The recent terror attack in the Middle East shattered the dreams of peace for many people in the region." ." . , shatter . "His family was shattered when they found about his disease." " ." .)
People couldn't believe what I'd become


Revolutionaries wait


For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

(puppet , . . . "Senator Obama and fellow Democrats painted Senator McCain as a puppet of Big Oil." . " ." .)

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

(missionary , . , . "I am going to China for missionary work this summer." . " ." .)
For some reason I can't explain


I know Saint Peter won't call my name

( .

. . . .)

Never an honest word


And that was when I ruled the world

. . 'Viva La Vida' , , 1 . . 10 .
