歌词与中文翻译
I used to rule the world
大千世界曾由我主宰
Seas would rise when I gave the word
巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
Now in the morning I sweep alone
而今我却在黎明独自入眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊
凡人生死曾由我主宰
I used to roll the dice
尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩：
Listen as the crowd would sing:
“先王亡矣！新王万代！”
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
此刻我手握权位经脉
One minute I held the key
转瞬才知宫墙深似海
恍然发现我的城池
Next the walls were closed on me
基底散如盐沙乱似尘埃
And I discovered that my castles stand
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
Be my mirror my sword and shield
一旦你离开这里便不再 不再有逆耳忠言存在
My missionaries in a foreign field
而这便是我统治的时代
For some reason I can't explain
（哦噢）
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
凛冽邪风呼啸袭来
That was when I ruled the world
吹散重门使我深陷阴霾
(Ohhh)
断壁残垣礼崩乐坏
世人不敢相信我已当年不再
It was the wicked and wild wind
起义大军翘首期待
Blew down the doors to let me in
有朝一日我站上断头台
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆
People couldn't believe what I'd become
悲哉，谁又曾渴望万人膜拜？
Revolutionaries wait
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
For my head on a silver plate
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Just a puppet on a lonely string
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
Oh who would ever want to be king?
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开
Be my mirror my sword and shield
不再有逆耳忠言存在
My missionaries in a foreign field
但这却是我统治的时代
For some reason I can't explain
（哦噢 哦噢 哦噢）
I know Saint Peter will call my name
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Never an honest word
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
But that was when I ruled the world
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
不再有逆耳忠言存在
Be my mirror my sword and shield
但这却是我统治的时代
My missionaries in a foreign field
哦噢 哦噢 哦噢
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
