Lost Video Island

[kaiedee]

I love the beat and sound of this song and as I was reading the lyrics tonight it seemed like it was written for Ben, especially after this last episode, and I started thinking that before I even got to the line "never an honest word," which made me laugh because we know we can't trust a word that comes out of Ben's mouth. It could show how high Ben was as the ruler and his people respected him and now he's been brought low and Locke is like the new king.

These are the 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 enemy's 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 a 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 go 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 couldn't 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 a 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
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

I hear Jerusalem bells a 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
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Wow...Not only do I love the song, but it IS perfect for Ben! I'm not sure if I'll make it, but I'll definitely gather clips and keep it in mind. I have a few vids in line already, but this was definitely a cool song choice, especially after last episode.

[kaiedee]

I'm so glad you like the idea. I hope you end up making it, I think it would turn out really great!

[SassyLostie2]

Glad you have faith in me and my vidding skills. lol I've never made a Ben vid before, but I've wanted to for a while. If I get inspired, who knows? I might just start it one day. hehe

[SassyLostie2]

Ok, I've totally had this song stuck in my head. I downloaded it a few days ago, and now I've begun downloading all kinds of Ben clips that I need for this vid. lol So I'm like 85% sure I'm gonna do it. hehe Hopefully sooner rather than later.

[kaiedee]

Yay!! I'm so happy to hear that! It is a great song, isn't it? It was stuck in my head all day yesterday, and now that I'm thinking about it, it will probably get stuck in my head again!

[SassyLostie2]

Hey, I'll still try to make this, so I'm way far behind as far as vidding goes. So someone else can do this if they want to. I'll probably try eventually, unless someone else wants to try. Sorry about that.

*would love to see this* ;D I have too many video projects at the moment to do it myself.

[Charmed_Charlee]

I love the song
You know what I have a vid to do, but will definately keep this in mind and will probably do it
