Violet Hill by Coldplay

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 architectured

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 honor

When I'm dead and hit the ground

A love back home it unfolds



If you love me

Won't you let me know?



I don't want to be a soldier

With the captain of some sinking ship

With snow, 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 that time she was silent still



So if you love me

Won't you let me know?



If you love me,

Won't you let me know?
