5. Listen to the song and fill in the gaps with the phrases.

“Viva la vida” (Coldplay)

I _________________ the world,

Seas would rise when I _____________

Now in the morning I sleep alone,

Sweep the streets I _______________

I ____________ the dice,

______________ 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

​I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, Roman Catholic choirs are singing

​Be my mirror, my sword, and shield, My missionaries in a foreign field

​For some reason I _______________, Once you know there was never,

​Never an honest word…that was when I ruled the world

It was the _________________________,

blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums,

people could not believe  _________________

Revolutionaries wait

for my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string—

Oh who would ever want to be King?

​I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, Roman Catholic 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…and that was when I ruled the world
