Viva la Vida is a song by the British rock band Coldplay, released in 2008 as part of their fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. The title, translating to “Long live life” in Spanish, was inspired by a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, reflecting themes of resilience and appreciation for life despite adversity.
The song’s lyrics are narrated from the perspective of a dethroned monarch reflecting on his past reign and the transient nature of power. It delves into themes of hubris, downfall, and redemption, with references to historical and religious imagery, such as “Jerusalem bells” and “Roman cavalry choirs.” These elements underscore the fleeting nature of authority and the inevitable decline that follows overreaching ambition.
Musically, Viva la Vida marked a departure from Coldplay’s earlier style, incorporating orchestral arrangements and a rich, layered production. This evolution showcased the band’s willingness to experiment and grow artistically. The song achieved significant commercial success, reaching number one on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. It also garnered critical acclaim, winning the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 2009.
In live performances, Viva la Vida has become a staple, often featuring audience participation and creating a unifying atmosphere. Its enduring popularity is evident, as seen in a recent collaboration where Coldplay and Ed Sheeran performed the song together at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, blending their musical styles to deliver a memorable rendition.

Viva La Vida Ringtone N Lyrics
Verse 1:
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 a 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’d go there was never,
never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the 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 wanna be king
I hear Jerusalem bells were ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know St. Peter won’t call my name
Never honest were
But that was when I ruled the world
Bridge:
Whoaaa (x4)
Bridge and Chorus mix:
(Whoa…) Here Jerusalem bells were ringing
(Whoa…) Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
(Whoa…) Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Whoa…) My missionaries in a foreign field
(Whoa…) For some reason I can’t explain
(Whoa…) I know St. Peter won’t call my name
Never honest were
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooh Ooooh Oooh Ooooh… (until fade)
