coldplay - hello x 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,
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 and pillars of sand.
