[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 #coldplay #vivalavida
