I didn't find my original Mp3 of this song so it's only 204 kbps, but it's still pretty good!
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
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 fox
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
My nerves are poles that 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?

Genuinely one of the greatest cover versions. You can feel both Coldplay and Pendulum.

[adrianfoster]

I was in my car, listening to this being broadcast live on Radio1. It was that good, I pulled over to listen to it properly. It blew my mind and was the only time I have ever found Greg James to be lost for words. Awesome!

[ItsTheTurtleofDoom]

Anyone else wish they could be hearing this for the first time again? It was one of them that made you stop what you're doing

[MrTomservo]

Rob Swire said that they were going for more of a metal sound on this. After they recorded this, he decided that they needed to do a metal song with "proper metal vocals". Hence Self Vs. Self.

[taifer]

this one a huge diamond from Pendulum. hope they reunite soon and make more music like this. with love from Greece

[KalaKillcam]

I remember when this went out on radio 1, what a moment! Makes the original seem like a chilled out cover. The mashup mix they did was INCREDIBLE and not long after that I went to see them live with chase & status. This still stands as one of my all time favourite tracks and they’ve never “officially” released it.

[MythicSuns]

shame they recorded this in the manner of a live performance. would love to hear this once it's been mixed around and stuff

[pwndrumnb]

Well, THAT is a VERY different coldplay cover. I think that this is the best version of Violet I've heard ever...

[Miscool]

If you told me just out of the blue: "hey, pendulum covered Cold Play's 'Violet hill'" I would have said "PAH, yeah right, there is no way they could make that sound good."
But in reality, it's really one of the coolest songs they've made yet, and Pendulum never disappoints. They're freaking ridiculously talented...

*Lyrics*

[Verse 1]
It 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?


[Verse 2]
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross was held aloft
Bury me in armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
And if you love me, won't you let me know?


[Verse 3]
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me, why'd you let me go?


[Outro]
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?

[jezlan]

Still so in love with this cover - especially how they've merged in a bit of Led Zeppelin into the proceedings! Glorious!

[spookypyro]

The reason this sounds so "muffled" or "badly mixed" is because it was performed live, nuff said

[illcommentu]

Rob Swire has the amazing talent of taking songs and making them better

[nritsch]

I always wanted to hear a hard rock/metal cover of this song. I guess this is as close as I'm getting.

[KatoTVcsgo]

Every single day I find something different from pendulum that I fall in love with

[alexmcc-art]

Pendulum's version was the first time I heard Violet Hill. I then went and listened to the I was disappointed. Pendulum's cover is FAR superior.

[PeaceSongWasLeahMoonsong]

They're back guys! Ultra 2016.
Yes, a live band. :)

[BearTubz]

Probably the best ever bbc radio1 live lounge ever

[Trubie]

THIS IS FREAKIN AMAZING. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! I LOVE PENDULUM.

[Zillionatom]

My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw this.
