Viva La Vida lyrics Means.. By Kevtz

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 think this one means that when people in the top of everything and then he suddenly fall and try to memorize about his past

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!"

" memorize about his power in the past, and how he feel more powerful.."
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

"mhhh i like the way the singer sing this part.. BUT DONT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS! PILLARS OF SALT ? its that mean that he so powerfull so he can get a castle from sand ?or its just like people who made a miniature castle on the beach ?"
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)

" i love this one ... :D be my mirror my sword and shield.. .. i just thinking how powerfull this person even Jerusalem bells, roman calvary singing ? for him ? well when i hear this songs and i found the lyrics like this, i linked Jerusalem bells just like when Jesus Born ? see, how powerfull this man can be, even roman calvary singing ? Roman calvary ? i linked to Julius Caesar with his huge roman calvary who rules this world, .. mmh make me guessing person on this songs its Julius Caesar"


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?

"see its more clearly for me when i read this part, the person feel emptiness, he feel nothing with things he had. when people try to revolt for his power, he claim that he don't want to become a king .. and rules this world, but anyway he feel that when he become king he just a puppet, its emptyness.. for sure"

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)

Saint peter for chatolic or SIMON the first of twelve Jesus Student, and in this songs means that even Saint petter that chatolic people believe as a secondary of Jesus figures wont call his name .. ( i think for a judgment day ) ...

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

Well thats a rap :P
