What is the meaning of Coldplay's album cover for Viva la Vida?

Well then maybe the question shouldn't be about the album cover.
This is all great stuff. I am seeking a literal Roman Cavalry Choir tranlation of "Viva la Vida". Can any credible source answer this?
We already asked the Benedictine Latin scholars. Perhaps the "Roman Cavalry Choir" might have a different interpretation than today's Catholic scholars. "Sanctus videus" might mean "The Holy See" or to "see like God", which heaven forbid, would allow the unwashed masses in on their native intelligence.
"Viva la Vida" means "Long Live the Knowing" to the Roman Cavalry Choir. Prove that I'm/we're wrong!

Viva la Vida actually means "long live life" in its most literal translation.

The album cover is of Eugene DelaCroix's painting, "Liberty Leading the People."
A commemoration of the July Revolution of 1830.
Many of the songs throughout this album seem to be about war and revolution.
Violet Hill being the story of a soldier going off to battle wanting to know if his love loves him in return.
Viva la Vida being the story of a King who no longer holds power and is worried that his actions will cause St. Peter to not allow him into heaven.
Lovers in Japan about soldiers that must soldier on.
Strawberry Swing the character from Violet Hill is assumed to be incapacitated and is brought to by cold water. With the remainder of the song being to his lover.
The use of "Liberty Leading the People" is to represent what many of the album's songs are about; War and Revolution.
Viva La Vida actually means "long live life" in spanish. im in sanish 4 honors so i should know :)
Viva la Vida actually means "Live life"

The song seems to be autobiographical and it's about Coldplay, or at least Chris Martin specifically.
It's possibly a premonition of a time yet to come when he will look back on this period of his life, when he (and his band) were top dog(s), i.e. "when I ruled the world". He says he knows "St Peter won't call my name", possibly because he has done something, or made a deal with a certain someone from down below, as part of the fame & fortune package (aka "when I ruled the world"), and thus he'll be excluded from eternal life for a reason he is not currently at liberty to explicitly explain. It wouldn't be good PR for a start.
All the stuff about kings, and so on is just a collection of metaphors for this end-of-my-career-and-looking-back theme in the song.
Of course, I hope my interpretation is wrong as I wouldn't like anyone to trade their soul for fame for a time which, compared to eternity, is nothing at all.
