Lady Gaga – Viva la vida Song Lyrics

About Lady Gaga: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for reinventing herself throughout her career and for her versatility in numerous areas of the entertainment industry. Gaga began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, before dropping out to pursue a music career. When Def Jam Recordings canceled her contract, she worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, where Akon helped her sign a joint deal with Interscope Records and his own label KonLive Distribution in 2007. She rose to prominence the following year with her debut album, the electropop record The Fame, and its chart-topping singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face”. The follow-up EP The Fame Monster (2009), along with the singles “Bad Romance”, “Telephone” and “Alejandro”, were also successful.

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 and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I’ll be your Gwyneth
My missionaries hidin’ in foreign trenches 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 It was the wicked and wild wind
Like just The Doors’ Love Her Madly and let her in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become Revolutionaries wait
For my blonde head on a silver plate
Just a GaGa on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be queen? I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin’
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin’
Be my Chris and I’ll be your Gwyneth For some reason that I can’t explain
I know Yves Saint Laurent, no, he won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin’
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin’
Be my Chris and I’ll be your Gwyneth
The fame won’t change us if we don’t let it For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Mary won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Ruled the world
Ruled the world
