Vocabulary and verb tenses


Pre-Intermediate
Viva la Vida
Choose the correct word:

I used to rule the world/word/road


Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning and I sip/sleep/slip alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the days/dice/dies


Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king/queen/key is dead!

Long live the king!"

Fill in with the asked form of the verbs :

One minute I ………. ( hold - past) the key


Next the walls ………. (be - past) closed on me
And I ………. (discover - past) that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells ………. (ring – pres. cont.)


Roman Cavalry choirs ………. (sing – pres. cont.)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain


Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ………. (rule – past) the world

Put the sentences in the correct order:

( ) Shattered windows and the sound of drums


( ) Blew down the doors to let me in
( ) People couldn't believe what I'd become
( ) It was the wicked and wild wind

Listen and fill in the blanks with the missing words:

Revolutionaries ………. (verb)


For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who ………. (modal) ever want to be king?

Chorus 1

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
Provided by Cris Prates
Chorus 1
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
