Coldplay - Violet Hill

on May 26th, 2008 by Dj Oranji

“Violet Hill” is a song by English rock band Coldplay from the band’s fourth studio album “Viva la Vida” or “Death and All His Friends”. The music video for the song was filmed in Sicily, Italy.

Martin described the song as having a “chalky, pastel feeling” which he said reminds him of his childhood. “Imagine a pseudo guitar-like circus music with a pinch of Chicago… It’s something new from us and you will be impressed.”

Coldplay - Violet Hill

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember from the window
They were watching while we froze
Down below

When the future’s architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You 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 the fog 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
Legs are cold, unfolds
And If you love me, won’t you let me know

[Guitar solo]

I don’t wanna be a soldier
With a captain of some sinking ship
With snow
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 the 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
