(Lyrics):
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
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

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' 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
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
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
And that was when I ruled the world

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
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
And revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string (Mmm, mmm)
Aw, who would ever wanna be king?

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
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
[Bridge: Brian Eno, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus: Chris Martin, Brian Eno, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
My missionaries in a foreign field
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
For some reason I can't explain
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

[Outro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

[roadrunner]

Now the old Queen is dead long live the King

[luzanneviljoen]

Its been 14 years, But still one of the best songs

[jito-electro_]

A song is composed through music and hype. A masterpiece is composed through emotion and word play. This masterpiece has lyrics that almost everyone can relate to, and a melody that emphasises it.

[DaNanna]

You know you like a song when you can replay it in your head with every lyric😊

[Byleth]

It's been 10yrs since I last heard this. Thanks for bringing this back!

[ifenna.i]

Nostalgic feels this song brings is unmatched

[BabybatMiranda]

This makes me want to cry whenever I hear it... I genuinely feel something in my heart hearing it.

[mrsinister]

I just found this song and what a beautiful song. I was never into Coldplay when they were at the height of their music and im sure I heard this song but never listened to it. As someone that's lost everything the past few years I can really relate to this song. Just an incredible song.

[jayakrishnanr]

One of the best songs i have heard in a while 😌

[Xx._AvAa]

I literally cry to this song every time I listen to it .. 😔 it reminds me of my childhood.. the good old days..

[Flamingo_]

This was the last song my choir group performed before my music teacher died. I will always remember him :)

[dark_rose]

As an Indomitable human spirit i love this song.

[khiryshank]

Immediately thought of this when the Queen died. Now there's a King. The cycle continues...

[michaelchanwing]

[oliviagraham]

I love this song, I get nostalgic for some reason

[I_love_snowlepordz]

Am I the only one who thinks of Rengoku Kyōjurō like when he was dying and he told tanjiro "if you are feeling disheartened, that you are somehow not enough, SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE." (I started tearing up while writing this 😢)

[jiovanni.migallon]

i heard this song in nba 2k13 and until now, still it gave me some goosebumps... this song is so damn good

[teamtinytrucking]

Heard this song 1000 times, first time I read the lyrics...very insightful.

[Jenkuya]

This has to be the best song I’ve ever heard

[jordankerley]

This is perfect for the queens passing 😔
