What better way to start a month than with the Drakies? In this music video the Drakensberg Boys' Choir perform Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida'. This performance is from their Winter 2010 "Music In The Mountains" concerts and has some very good solo and duo dancing as well as the usual wonderful Drakie singing. Lyrics are below the fold. Enjoy :-)

Viva La Vida Lyrics
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
2. 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!"
3. 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
4. I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
5. For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
6. 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
7. Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
8. I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
9. For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
10. I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
11. For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
