我的布道者们远涉异邦
I used to rule the world
他们的使命我无法言明
Seas would rise when I gave the word
自从你离开之后，就从未有过
Now in the morning I sleep alone
从未有过一丝真言
Sweep the streets I used to own
那就是我统治这世界的年月
I used to roll the dice
是那邪恶而狂野的风
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
掀翻那阻挡我进去的重重的门
Listen as the crowd would sing
窗棂破碎，鼓声喧天
我的下场无人能料
Now the old king is dead
革命者在等待
Long live the king
银盘里乘着我的头颅
One minute I held the key
我只是那命悬一线的傀儡
Next the walls were closed on me
唉，早知如此，何必为王
And I discovered that my castles stand
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
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
我的布道者们远涉异邦
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
他们的使命我无法言明
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
我深知圣彼得不会再认我
Be my mirror my sword and shield
从未有过一丝真言
My missionaries in a foreign field
但那正是我统治这世界的年月
For some reason I can't explain
哦 哦 哦 哦 哦
Once you go there was never
哦 哦 哦 哦 哦
Never an honest word
哦 哦 哦 哦 哦
哦 哦 哦 哦 哦
But that was when I ruled the world
哦 哦 哦 哦 哦
听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声
It was the wicked and wild wind
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵
作为我的明镜， 我的剑和盾
Blew down the doors to let me in
我的布道者们远涉异邦
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
他们的使命我无法言明
我深知圣彼得不会再认我
People couldn't believe what I'd become
从未有过一丝真言
Revolutionaries wait
但那正是我统治这世界的年月
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
