歌词
I used to rule the world
我曾经统治世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
当我下令时海洋也会潮起
Now in the morning I sleep alone
如今我在清晨独自入睡
Sweep the streets I used to own
目光扫过我过去拥有的街
I used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
我曾经手握权力 漫感仇敌对我的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing
倾听人群歌颂
Now the old King is dead long live the King
旧王已死 新王长立
One minute I held the key
上一秒我执掌王国命脉
Next the walls were closed on me
下一秒监狱大门却在我面前关闭
And I discovered that my castles stand
我才惊觉我的王国
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
坐落在散落的沙土之上
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我听见耶路撒冷钟响
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑士文工团在吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
他们做我的明镜、长矛和护盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士在遥远的异国他乡
For some reason I can't explain
因一些原因我无法道明
Once you'd gone there was never
一旦你离去这就再也不复
Never an honest word
再也不复一句逆语忠言
And that was when I ruled the world
这正是我所统治世界的模样
It was the wicked and wild wind
那股狂风怪哉
Blew down the doors to let me in
呼啸过城门令我破门而入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
窗户破碎 鼓乐崩坏
People couldn't believe what I'd become
人民不会相信我沦落成这番境地
Revolutionaries wait
起义大军翘首等待
For my head on a silver plate
我的银盘盛装的首级
I'm just a puppet on a lonely string
我只是孤单摇摆的牵丝木偶
Oh who would ever want to be king
谁又想生而为王？
Now I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
如今我听见耶路撒冷钟响
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑士文工团在吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
他们做我的明镜、长矛和护盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士在遥远的异国他乡
For some reason I can't explain
因一些原因我无法道明
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼得不会唤我名姓上天堂
Never an honest word
再不复半句逆语忠言
But that was when I ruled the world
但这就是我所统治世界的模样
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我听见耶路撒冷钟响
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑士文工团在吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
他们做我的明镜、长矛和护盾 替我征战四方
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士在遥远的异国他乡
For some reason I can't explain
因些原因我无法道明
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼得永不会唤我上天堂
Never an honest word
再也没有一句逆语忠言
But that was when I ruled the world
但这正是我所统治的世界的模样
