歌词
I used to rule the world
我曾是这世界的王
Seas would rise when I gave the word
海浪升起，只因我的旨意
Now in the morning I sleep alone
如今，我在清晨独自入眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
清扫那曾属于我的康庄大道
I used to roll the dice
我曾掷骰裁决那人世的生生死死
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
洞察死敌眼神里隐藏的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing
听那人群高呼：
Now the old king is dead
先王已逝
Long live the king
吾王万岁
One minute I held the key
曾几何时，我权柄在握
Next the walls were closed on me
转瞬却身陷囹圄
And I discovered that my castles stand
最终发现我那盖世的宏图伟业
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
只是一座虚无缥缈的空中楼阁
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
Be my mirror my sword and shield
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的布道者们远涉异邦
For some reason I can't explain
他们的使命我无法言明
Once you go there was never
自从你离开之后，就从未有过
Never an honest word
从未有过一丝真言
But that was when I ruled the world
那就是我统治这世界的年月
It was the wicked and wild wind
是那邪恶而狂野的风
Blew down the doors to let me in
掀翻那阻挡我进去的重重的门
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
窗棂破碎，鼓声喧天
People couldn't believe what I'd become
我的下场无人能料
Revolutionaries wait
革命者在等待
For my head on a silver plate
银盘里乘着我的头颅
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我只是那命悬一线的傀儡
Oh who would ever want to be king
唉，早知如此，何必为王？
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
Be my mirror my sword and shield
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的布道者们远涉异邦
For some reason I can't explain
他们的使命我无法言明
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知圣彼得不会再认我
Never an honest word
从未有过一丝真言
But that was when I ruled the world
但那正是我统治这世界的年月
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
（哦哦哦）
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
（哦哦哦）
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
（哦哦哦）
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
（哦哦哦）
Oh oh oh oh oh
（哦哦哦）
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
Be my mirror my sword and shield
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的布道者们远涉异邦
For some reason I can't explain
他们的使命我无法言明
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知圣彼得不会再认我
Never an honest word
从未有过一丝真言
But that was when I ruled the world
但那正是我统治这世界的年月
