This is the official alternative video of the "Viva La Vida" track by Coldplay. It was made in The Netherlands, especially in the city The Hague (in dutch; Den Haag). The video was made out of love for Depeche Mode and the genius of Anton Corbijn. This track is copyrighted bij EMI. Video Director is Anton Corbijn Lyrics; 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 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, pillars of sand 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 not explain Once you go 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 could not 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 not explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world (Ooooh Oooh Oooh) 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 "Coldplay" "Viva La Vida" "X&Y" "Parachutes" "A Rush of blood to the head" "Castles" "The Hague" "Den Haag" "Scheveningen" "Nederland" "Netherlands" "Holland" "Clocks" "The Scientist" "Fix You" "Anton Corbijn" "Depeche Mode" "Enjoy the Silence" Less
