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