Viva la Vida Coldplay WORKSHEET 1

Listen to the song and fill in the blanks; then listen again and choose the correct alternative

I used to rule the world
____ would rise when I gave the word/worldNow in the morning I sweep alone
_______ 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 queen/king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand/ mend
Upon ______ of salt, ______ 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't explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
________ 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 bring/string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry ________ are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not complain/explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an _______ word
But that was when I ruled the road/world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
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 will call my name/fameNever an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh)
