我的传教士远在异邦
I used to rule the world
因为某种我无法解释的原因
Seas would rise when I gave the word
一旦你离去，世间将再无一句忠言
Now in the morning I sleep alone
可那就是我统治的时代
Sweep the streets I used to own
那是一阵邪恶狂野的寒风
吹开牢门逼迫我进来
I used to roll the dice
窗子破碎，鼓声隆隆
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
子民们无法相信我已至此地步
Listen as the crowd would sing:
革命者磨刀霍霍
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
我的头颅置于刀俎之上
One minute I held the key
我不过是一个被命运摆布的木偶
Next the walls were closed on me
哀哉，最是无情帝王家
And I discovered that my castles stand
我听见耶路撒冷的钟声敲响
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
罗马骑兵高声宣唱
来作我的明镜，宝剑与坚盾吧
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我的传教士远在异邦
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
因为某种我无法解释的原因
Be my mirror my sword and shield
我知道天堂之门不会为我敞开
My missionaries in a foreign field
再无一句忠言
For some reason I can not explain
可那就是我统治的时代
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
That was when I ruled the world
我听见耶路撒冷的钟声敲响
罗马骑兵高声宣唱
It was the wicked and wild wind
来作我的明镜，宝剑与坚盾吧
Blew down the doors to let me in.
我的传教士远在异邦
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
因为某种我无法解释的原因
People could not believe what I'd become
我知道天堂之门不会为我敞开
Revolutionaries Wait
再无一句忠言
For my head on a silver plate
可那就是我统治的时代
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
