歌词
I used to rule the world
我曾统治着世界
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
感受敌人眼神里的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing
听那人群高呼
先王已逝
Now the old king is dead
吾王万岁
Long live the king
曾几何时，我权柄在握
One minute I held the key
转瞬却身陷囹圄
Next the walls were closed on me
最终发现我那盖世的宏图伟业
And I discovered that my castles stand
只是一座虚无缥缈的空中楼阁
我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我的布道者们远涉异邦
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
出于某些原因我无法说明
Be my mirror my sword and shield
自从你离开之后，就从未有过
My missionaries in a foreign field
从未有过一丝真言
For some reason I can't explain
但那就是我统治这世界的年月
Once you go there was never
是那邪恶而狂野的风
Never an honest word
掀翻那阻挡我进去的重重的门
窗棂破碎，鼓声喧天
But that was when I ruled the world
我的下场无人能料
革命者在等待
It was the wicked and wild wind
银盘里乘着我的头颅
我只是那命悬一线的傀儡
Blew down the doors to let me in
唉，早知如此，何必为王？
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
People couldn't believe what I'd become
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
Revolutionaries wait
我的布道者们远涉异邦
出于某些原因我无法说明
For my head on a silver plate
我深知圣彼得不会再呼唤我的名字
Just a puppet on a lonely string
从未有过一丝真言
但那就是我统治这世界的年月
Oh who would ever want to be king
哦哦哦哦哦哦
哦哦哦哦哦哦
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
哦哦哦哦哦哦
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
哦哦哦哦哦哦
Be my mirror my sword and shield
哦哦哦哦哦
My missionaries in a foreign field
听耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
For some reason I can't explain
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
Never an honest word
我的布道者们远涉异邦
出于某些原因我无法说明
But that was when I ruled the world
我深知圣彼得不会再呼唤我的名字
从未有过一丝真言
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
但那就是我统治这世界的年月
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
