This movie portrays Chris Martin as the king from whose perspective the song is sung. During the video, he carries Delacroix's painting. At the end, he hangs the picture up in a white stall on top of a hill. As he sings the last chorus, his bandmates surface heading his way, tying in loose ends from the "Violet Hill" video.

"NEVER AN HONEST WORLD, BUT THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD..."
