Introduction
"Viva la Vida" (Spanish for 'Long Live Life'; /ˈviːvə lə ˈviːdə/, Spanish: [ˈbiβa la ˈβiða]) is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008). The lyrics to the song contain historical and Christian references, and the track is built around a looping string section in unison with a digitally processed piano, with other layers gradually being added as the song builds.
The track was released on 13 June 2008[citation needed] as the album's second single, debuting to critical acclaim and commercial success. "Viva la Vida" reached the top spot of the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first number-one single in both the U.S. and U.K. The song won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009.

Lyric
I used to rule the
world. Seas would rise when I gave the
word. Now in the morning I sleep a
lone, Sweep the streets I used to oo
own. I used to roll the
dice, Feel the fear in my enemy's eyey
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 a ring
ing. Roman cavalry choirs are sing
in
