I know what they're singing about!

velvetpage has taken a shine to some new(ish)? song by that rock and roll combo, Cold Play. The song, Viva La Vida, contains the following lyrics:

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

This song is about D&D, isn't it?

Actually I've been meaning to post about that - haven't yet, but I'm still hoping to.

More flippantly, they didn't tend to involve missionaries and Roman cavalry choirs, nor did we tend to rule the world at any given point...
