Song lyrics
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 Im dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles thatn 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

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?

Wow! A can't believe i'm the first to comment on this song!

A great return for coldplay, it is different to their previous songs as it contains heavier guitar. But it is sparingly played. The guitar bit at the beginning is great and as usual great lyrics.

I could listen to it all day... can't wait for the new album: viva la vida or death and all his friends!!

Great song!!!!
I heard the chorus on Tv in the commercial for the new album and it stuck inside my brain and I had to find out what song it was ;P

I almost find that I like this song more than "Viva la Vida." It's definitely a highlight of the album.
It's so simple, but so amazing. I especially like in the video, the part with the magnifying glass.
Coldplay at its finest.

I was getting sick of Coldplay music because alot of their songs sounded the same like they used the same instrumental modified just enough so people wouldn't notice, with different lyrics.

But this song is different. Its way better than Viva La Vida which sounds like other songs of theirs to me.
