只因一些缘由我无法释怀
I used to rule the world
一旦你离开这里便不再
Seas would rise when I gave the word
不再有逆耳忠言存在
Now in the morning I sleep alone
而这便是我统治的时代
Sweep the streets I used to own
凛冽邪风呼啸袭来
吹散重门使我深陷阴霾
I used to roll the dice
断壁残垣礼崩乐坏
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
世人不敢相信我已当年不再
Listen as the crowd would sing
起义大军翘首期待
Now the old King is dead, long live the King
有朝一日我站上断头台
One minute I held the key
恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆
Next the walls were closed on me
悲哉，谁又曾渴望万人膜拜？
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
我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开
My missionaries in a foreign field
不再有逆耳忠言存在
For some reason I can't explain
而这便是我统治的时代
Once you'd gone there was never
(哦哦哦哦)
Never an honest word
(哦哦哦哦)
And that was when I ruled the world
(哦哦哦哦)
(哦哦哦哦)
It was the wicked and wild wind
(哦哦哦哦)
Blew down the doors to let me in
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来(哦哦哦哦)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海(哦哦哦哦)
People couldn't believe what I'd become
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌(哦哦哦哦)
Revolutionaries wait
我的传教士屹立边疆之外(哦哦哦哦)
For my head on a silver plate
只因一些缘由我无法释怀(哦哦哦哦)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开
Oh who would ever want to be king?
不再有逆耳忠言存在
I hear Jerusalem bells a-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'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
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing (Oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing (Oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
Be my mirror, my sword and shiel (Oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
My missionaries in a foreign field (Oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
For some reason I can't explain (Oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
