Coldplay lyrics

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sweep 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

For some reason I can't explain

Once you 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 want to be king?

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

I know Saint Peter will call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world.

Christmas 2008 World Record - Bucharest

In 2008 a total of 3,939 red and white clad people gathered in front

of the parliament building in Bucharest.

Watched by a representative of Guinness World Records,

they paraded through the city handing out gifts.

When the record was confirmed, Ms Sinigagliesi

 presented a certificate to the mayor, to delight of the massed Santas.

The event easily broke a previous record of 3,618

simultaneously gift-giving Santas, set in Taiwan, in 2003.

In 2008 la Marşul Moşilor organizat şi sponsorizat de Coca Cola şi de

Primăria Capitalei au participat 3939 de moşi, care au dăruit dulciuri timp de 30 de minute,

 îndeplinind astfel condiţiile impuse de Guinness World Record.

Reprezentantul Guinness venit special pentru acest eveniment în Romania, Lucia Sinigagliesi,

a omologat recordul şi i-a oferit primarului diploma care certifică acest succes.

Românii au depăşit pe locuitorii din Taipei, care au deţinut până acum recordul

cu 3.618 de persoane îmbrăcate în Moş Crăciun.

Remember December 1989 - Romanian Revolution

România a fost singura țară din blocul estic care a trecut printr-o revoluție violentă și în care conducătorii comuniști au fost executați.

Statisticile victimelor revoluției din decembrie 1989 potrivit Ministerului Sănătății (aproximativ):

1104 morți și 3321 răniți (221 civili și 663 militari).

The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a week-long series of increasingly violent riots and fighting in late December 1989 that overthrew the government of the totalitarian president Nicolae Ceauşescu. After a trial, Ceauşescu and his wife Elena were executed. Romania was the only Eastern Bloc country to overthrow its government forcefully or to execute its leaders.

~1104 dead and 3321 wounded
