Is it not kinda weird that musicians sing songs as if they were satan. And satan is singing about his nostalgia about the time before Jesus was born.
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
It was the wicked and wild wind
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[Interlude: Will, Jonny, Guy, Brian]
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
[Outro: Chris Martin, Will, Jonny, Guy, Brian]
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) My missionaries in a foreign field
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) For some reason I can't explain
(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
