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?

I guess it's one of those songs that you can find all kinds of meaning in. I discovered it and fell in love with it a few months ago, and when I looked up the lyrics, the first thing I thought was "OMG! It's about Macbeth!" I was teaching the play at the time...
