Viva La Vida lyrics/music video – Coldplay


Coldplay is awesome. This song is awesome. This music video is awesome. I hope you like it!

Song: Viva La Vida
Artist: Coldplay

Here 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
And that was when I ruled the world

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

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

    as much as I love this song, it’s taken from a song Joe Satriani wrtoe called “If I could Fly.” Still a way better song than the original.

    Seems to me to be …
    Seems to me to be about someone who reached great heights in life or career, but came crashing down, and then looks back at his life and realizes his success had not been achieved through honesty, and so now is convinced that he won’t get into Heaven, that St. Peter won’t call his name. Very sobering message.
