Violet Hill Lyrics - Viva La Vida - Coldplay

Was a long and dark December 

From the rooftops I remember 

There was snow 

White snow 

Clearly I remember 

From the windows they were watching 

While we froze down below 

When the future's architectured 

By a carnival of idiots on show 

You'd better lie low 

If you love me 

Won't you let me know? 

Was a long and dark December 

When the banks became cathedrals 

And a fox became God 

Priests clutched onto bibles 

Hollowed out to fit their rifles 

And the cross was held aloft 

Bury me in armor 

When I'm dead and hit the ground 

My nerves are poles that unfroze 

If you love me 

Won't you let me know? 

I don't want to be a soldier 

Who the captain of some sinking ship 

Would stow, far below 

So if you love me 

Why'd you let me go? 

I took my love down to violet hill 

Then we sat in snow 

All that time she was silent still 

So if you love me 

Won't you let me know? 

If you love me 

Won't you let me know?
