Viva la Vida, Letras de Coldplay

Ya con el nuevo disco de los chicos britanicos de Colplay en la mano, España seguira llevando siempre a la cima a esta agrupación que además de acompañarnos este mes pasado en el Macro Festival, estuvo compartiendo con nosotros lo nuevo de “Viva la Vida”, de donde destaco no solo el tema que vino a presentar su nuevo disco, bajo el nombre homonimo, sino que además el single de “Violet Hill”, que logro demostrar una vez más el talento musical y de composición de estos excelentes músicos!

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 not 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 not 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 not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Una cancion bastante signficativa, esta “Viva la Vida”, que vino a presenter el más reciente lanzamiento discográfico de Coldplay, con una letra que nos revela lo difícil que es volver a caer, cuando uno fue el Rey del Universo…. “I used to rule the World…”
