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

    I think when it comes to the honest world part, I think it refers to like, when he was king, nothing was right or it was all just a lie or something. Just my thoughts.

  • No, when it says "I ...

    No, when it says "I know Saint Peter won't call my name" it refers to him not getting into Heaven. Saint Peter is supposedly the one who guards the gates of Heaven, and he has a list, and when he calls your name off the list, your let into Heaven.

    • not only that..

      jerusalem is not only a city in israel my dear friend and he puts this city here for a lot of reasons..jerusalem is the town where Christ was born, jerusalem it's supposed to be the god's chosen city to reign, one of the most ancient cities that were ruling the world, jerusalem is a symbol, a final destination...and i am not a jew..not even like the state of israel as it is now..but i cannot erase history..and human legends..be well..

  • Death from God. ...

    Death from God. According to what the man on Yahoo Answers wrote, is that later it wrote "I know St. Peter WILL call my name." So I bet this man is ready to accept his death. Even though he was foolish and greedy, he is forgiven. I love getting answers from songs. Love it! Well this is the last you will be hearing from me.

    I know I'm being a drag here but if anyone wants to know, feel free to comment me. You can get the answer at Yahoo Answers. Just like I did. But, when he says,"Missionaries in a foreign field," is probably reffering to Heaven and the angels. This is all about Napolean and how he had power. I mean, who else is French and was about to rule the world?? Napolean was the FIRST person about to rule the world. He was about to rule all of Europe. This is about him and his downfall, and being awaited a

  • One thing, Viva la ...

    One thing, Viva la Vida means live the life. So, as I read, the writers theory of this was about Napolean living his life, how it was, you know. This song has a melody of funeral. I also read Jerusalem bells and Roman calvery choirs are used at funerals. In the end, the choir is sad and stuff, which is suggesting that Napolean is dead. "Missionaries" is also a Christian allusion, appears to be useless, but I think it's reffering for Napolean to have a room prepared in Heaven for him. Well mate.

  • Wait one more thing ...

    Wait one more thing. What does Jerusalem mean? Please tell me. I really don't know. I'm lost without the Internet. Hee hee. Oh right, "For my head on a silver plate," represents John the Babtists death am I correct? I'm not sure. Please reply! Thanks!

  • By the way, I also ...

    By the way, I also read that a mirror, sheild, and sword are Christian symbols of death. And also, when he sings,"For some reason I can't explain," relates to Heaven because no one can explain Heaven. I think. DON'T JUDGE ME! I'M JUST A NINE YEAR OLD GIRL!! Ahem. Anyway, when he sings "Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing, Roman Cavalry choirs are singing.For some reason I can't explain, I know Saint Peter won't call my name," gives me a weird death vibe. *SHUDDERS* Well, I loved the song. 5*. Awesome
