[music]Viva la Vida - Coldplay

Viva la Vida by Coldplay
Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008)

얼마전에 아이튠스에서 나온 광고를 보고
매우 기대했던 앨범이 릴리즈되었다.
Coldplay는 1998년 결성된 영국 밴드다.
그러고 보니 벌써 대뷔한지가 10년이 되었다..
예전에 A Rush of Blood to the Head앨범의 Scientist란 곡이
Wicker Park(당신이 사랑하는 동안에)란 영화마지막 장면에 삽입되어
Coldplay에게 관심을 갖고 좋아하게 되었던 기억이 난다.
타이틀인 Viva la Vida는 '만세 인생이여'라는 뜻으로
보컬 크리스 마틴이 멕시코의 여류 화가 ‘프리다 칼로(Frida Kahlo)’의
마지막 작품에서 영감을 얻었다고 한다.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep 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


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

ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo
(repeat with chorus)

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
