When I Ruled the Worldby `Kjherstin

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Conceptual

_{`kuschelirmel's October Song Challenge

I chose the main image of the puppeteer as the emperor of a has been imperial realm with the sea as a backdrop from his castle. My emperor was once a very cruel man, evil, manipulative, greedy thus the reason for his fall. His seas of greed will not rise again and people will chant: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

The people are now free from this madman's reign. Viva la Liberdad! Viva la Vida!

Viva La Vida 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 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 Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
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 Cavalry 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
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry 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 will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

I think of all the ones in the viva la vida collection I like this best. The way you put it togethor is amazing yet simple. It still perplexes me why I find it t resemble it most. but theres just that little something about it. <3 Awesome awesome work
