Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends










































Coldplay - Viva La Vida (Or Death And All His Friends)
Songwriters: Berryman, Guy Rupert; Buckland, Jonathan Mark; Champion, Will; Martin, Christopher A J


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.
