Coldplay - Violet Hill Lyrics

Artist: Coldplay

Album: Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion, Christopher Antho Martin
  • Also in:

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 honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home it unfolds

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
There 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?

    This song is about how religion and beliefs have been over ruled by money and power. Our need for spiritual wealth has been taken over by material needs. A God that used to be amazing and great hs been replaced by a "fox"- something sly and evil, like the serpant in the garden of eden. Its a song with a deep religous meaning and one that is being ignored.
