    The original song felt like an ode to days of glory long since passed, but this one feels like finding joy in living a simpler life. It's really amazing how tone can change things.

      Very true ! I was trying to understand what made me feel emotional in this song's rendition. And I think the fact that the song is sang by a group rather than one person (like the original) gives a completely different meaning to it.

      It's kind of an amalgamation song as far as I can tell nothing is specific. It's general themes that have played out dozens of times with a number of historical references. I don't think it's meant to tell a specific story. I think the French Revolution has some of the most romantic and yet ruthless imagery attached to it. It was a people's uprising against a decadent aristocracy followed by decades of some of the most vicious bloodshed in history. Not a new story but damn did they do it in style.

    The song's title, “Viva la Vida,” is a Spanish saying that means “long live life” or “live the life”. The song's lyrics deal with themes of power, fame, and the pursuit of success.
    The song's album cover is a portion of the 1830 painting “Liberty Leading the People” by French artist Eugène Delacroix. The song's name comes from a painting by Frida Kahlo, a 20th-century Mexican artist.

    Viva la Vida
    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 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 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't explain
    Once you go there was never, never an honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world
    It was a 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 are ringing
    Roman Calvary 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
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    Roman Calvary choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield

    We went to Birmingham symphony hall as year 4 group, to sing with lots of other schools from the midlands. We had all learnt the songs we sang separately in our own school. This was one of the songs we were taught. It was the year our much loved friend and head teacher retired. I remember watching him have to leave the auditorium as listening to a couple of thousand children reduced him to tears. This version evoked that memory. I loved it.
