歌词
编曲 : 无
我曾是这世间主宰
I used to rule the world
唤雨呼风也可令潮汐起落澎湃
Seas would rise when I gave the word
如今却只能在清晨独自醒来
Now in the morning I sleep alone
在我曾统治的城市街道里独自徘徊
Sweep the streets I used to own
我曾将这世界的命运掷于股掌
I used to roll the dice
笑看宿敌任我摆布恐惧慌张
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
听得万民欣慰颂唱
Listened as the crowd would sing
唱着“先王已死 吾王当万世无疆”
Now the old king is dead long live the king
但当我手握江山命运的权杖
One minute I held the key
才知权利亦能将我反噬陷入绝望
Next the walls were closed on me
而我惊觉我统治下的如画江山
And I discovered that my castles stand
亦是如散沙如碎盐如梦如幻转瞬纷乱
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
我听那耶路撒冷的钟声传来
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
听罗马骑兵胜利进军高歌奏凯
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
将我的宏伟留世 担当我的利剑与盾牌
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
我的传教士们带着我的思想开疆拓土遍布四海
My missionaries in a foreign field
而我没能有机会说明的是
For some reason I can't explain
一旦你们不再追随于我
Once you'd gone there was never
便是忠言随风飘散 江山堕入尘埃
Never an honest word
而那远去的便是我称王的时代
And that was when I ruled the world
那邪风呼啸着朝我而来
It was a wicked and wild wind
使宫门倾倒让昔日君王不复存在
Blew down the doors to let me in
残垣断壁中难见当年鼓乐响彻山海
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
世人皆难相信吾王已英姿不再
People couldn't believe what I'd become
起义大军翘首盼望着
Revolutionaries wait
将我送上那断头台
For my head on a silver plate
首级似那可笑木偶孤零在风中随线摇摆
Just a puppet on a lonely string
噢悲哀 谁又想再为王侯痴想千秋万代?
Oh who would ever want to be king
我听那耶路撒冷的钟声传来
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
听罗马骑兵胜利进军高歌奏凯
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
将我的宏伟留世 担当我的利剑与盾牌
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
我的传教士们带着我的思想开疆拓土遍布四海
My missionaries in a foreign field
而我没能有机会说明的是
For some reason I can't explain
我当然明白天堂之门不会为我敞开
I know St Peter won't call my name
不会有逆耳忠言的千秋万代
Never an honest word
但那毕竟是我辉煌过的时代
But that was when I ruled the world
我听那耶路撒冷的钟声传来
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
听罗马骑兵胜利进军高歌奏凯
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
将我的宏伟留世 担当我的利剑与盾牌
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
我的传教士们带着我的思想开疆拓土遍布四海
My missionaries in a foreign field
而我没能有机会说明的是
For some reason I can't explain
我当然明白天堂之门不会为我敞开
I know St Peter won't call my name
逆耳忠言的千秋万代也终将不复存在
Never an honest word
但至少曾有过我辉煌一世的时代
But that was when I ruled the world
