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 architecture 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 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 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 There we sat in snow All the time she was silent and still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me Won't you let me know? Edit Lyrics.

So it was that idea, and watching Bill O'Reilly, and all these words just came out.

General Comment to be perfectly honest i believe that this song is very directly tied to what the band sees as the injustices that exist throughout the world and the song itself is being sung from almost the perspective of the earth looking down on what we as humans have created If you love me, Won't you let me know?

Viva La Vida is a spectacular album and doesn't get the credit it deserves from the hipsters at Pitchfork. WhoaBo on May 27, Link. No way. It meantions a fox someone sly right after it mentions banks. If anything, that line is about greed I blew it.
