Taylor Swift - Viva La Vida 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
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 keys
Next the doors were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
It was a 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 wanna be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-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
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

Taylor Swift Viva La Vida Comments
Im leaving i hate this goodbye
Wait.. It's 2 days to 2020.. Isn't it too late for the recommendation, YouTube?
Chris Martin and all the members of Coldplay will be proud of you
here before 2020
Her voice makes me cry
I love tay😛
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! LOVE YA TAYLOR.
It's not that I don't like Swift, but she is more beautiful than her singing.
It's not that I do not like Swift but this cover is an insult to COLDPLAY!
❤ classic swift
Why now YouTube ???
perfect!!
Why am I only stumbling across this now? I miss the old, country Taylor.
She nailed viva la Vida. Love you Taylor
Her higher notes are harsh on the ears :(
My heart is resting in peace 😍😍😍
Ah the youtube algorithm strikes again
Where was this piece of gold all this while🥰😭😍
How did I not know about this cover until now?
But better late than never ❤❤❤
Could be any nervous high school teenager.

2019 Diciembre😍
When my MOST Favorite Coldplay Song met my MOST Favorite Artist❤❤❤❤❤
EPIC🙏😍😍
2019 anyone ?
I do really love this cover
So relaxing...
She didn't even claim that it's cover, not her owned song :(
And the song itself isn't lovely as much as the Coldplay's.
I miss old Taylor
blue note ++++
Oh hail our queen! - 2019
this is dangerously addictive
I just got this is my recommendation despite having been a fan of both Coldplay and Taylor Swift. Why have I only heard of this now?! It's beautiful
Taylor, at that exact moment, was the most beautiful woman to have ever existed
❤❤❤❤
So beautifully done...
❤❤❤❤💙
0:26 for the haters🤣
Really nice version. I really like Coldplay but also Taylor, so this is a big mixture for me.
how is it I never saw this??!!!!exquisite as always!!!
That time Swift was much slimmer 😏
2019 oct??
Like si te este vídeo te devolvió las ganas de vivir
8 years ago?! just saw this. omg my favourite song 😍
Press 3 on keyboard
🌬💕💁
omg we have to sing this for school
amazingly pretty...but this is very much a male oriented song.
I miss this Taylor who's all natural and original.
Edit: by original I didn't mean the song cause it's coldplay's but tbf it's Joe Satriani's tune
she's so adorable!
真的太好听了
밥먹듯이 오네
COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA COLOMBIA
She was too inocent. I love her in this part of her life
Not a fan of Taylor Swift but kudos to her because it’s such a difficult song to sing
My ears are literally bleeding.
hey does anyone know where this guitar is now?
In what Key is she singing?
Taylor minta nomer WA dong.. 😸😻
This is a nice cover of fallen kingdom

YouTube recommendation from 7 years ago : “ it’s rewind time “
Thanks to my youtube recommendation
Anyone in 2019?
YouTube stanning Taylor
Đi 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍😍🥰😍😍🥰😘🥰😍
I just remembered 1D
Nicely done
Recommendation
YouTube recommendation brought me here
Recommendation just did a good job lol. I like her at this period more maybe because I am biased to acoustics...
WTF por que hasta ahora me sale esto en las recomendaciones?!!!
I'd love to hear this in her new styles (Reputations techno vibe and the new Lover romantic style)
Coldplay’s “The Scientist “ song is great and the rest rubbish
Taylor playing a Taylor guitar. Guess it was an easy choice for her
Thanks YouTube algorithm
PERFEITA
El título realmente está en español o solo a mi me aparece así?
2019 here eyy
So young so beautiful so much talent
Why did youtube recommend this only now?!
Thanks youtube for recommend this Amazing Video
