Coldplay: Viva La Vida Meaning
Song Released: 2008
Covered By: Taylor Swift
Viva La Vida Lyrics
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...

p.s. If you knew about Christ's death you would know that the crucifixion occurred on a hill called Calvary. So Roman Calvary Choirs singing still makes perfect sense. Calvary/Cavalry . . . each makes sense in its own way. -
Pretty sure this is about the French Revolution, and the ultimate beheading of King Louis XVI.
p.s. It is Cavalry not Calvary. -
This song I believe this song is depicting the thoughts of Christ during his time of death, I envision Christ before he was hung on the cross, and hearing the roman soldiers coming to crucify him "I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman calvary choirs are singing" the "roman calvary choir" is the shouts of the Roman soldiers "I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word" this shows the worshiping of Jesus, and depicts is holy powers
