成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
I used to rule the world
我在异乡的传教士
Seas would rise when I gave the word
出于某种我无法解释的原因
Now in the morning I sleep alone
一旦你离开了，那里就再也没有生机盎然的世界
Sweep the streets I used to own
从来不说真话的国度
I used to roll the dice
但那是我统治世界的时候
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
那是邪恶而狂野的风
Listen as the crowd would sing
吹倒大门让我深陷囹圄
断壁残垣，礼崩乐坏
Now the old king is dead
人们无法相信我会变成这样
Long live the king
革命者在等待
One minute I held the key
有朝一日我站上断头台
Next the walls were closed on me
只是一个孤零零的木偶左右摇摆
And I discovered that my castles stand
谁会想成为国王
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我在异乡的传教士
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
出于某种我无法解释的原因
Be my mirror my sword and shield
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
My missionaries in a foreign field
一字一句构造虚假的世界
For some reason I can't explain
但这就是我曾统治过的时代
Once you go there was never
哦
Never an honest word
哦
哦
But that was when I ruled the world
哦
哦
It was the wicked and wild wind
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Blew down the doors to let me in
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
我在异乡的传教士
出于某种我无法解释的原因
People couldn't believe what I'd become
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
Revolutionaries wait
一字一句构造虚假的世界
但这就是我曾统治过的时代
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
