担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
I used to rule the world
我的传教士屹立在那疆土之外
Seas would rise when I gave the word
浮沉半生，我终究无法释怀
Now in the morning I sleep alone
一旦你离开这里
Sweep the streets I used to own
便不再有忠言逆耳存在
I used to roll the dice
但，这就是由我而主宰的时代
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
凛冽邪风呼啸而来
Listen as the crowd would sing
吹散重门使我深陷阴霾
战鼓声声随风散入房中
Now the old king is dead
荣华半生，造化弄人
Long live the king
革命之潮如洪水侵蚀
One minute I held the key
命运之神将我推上断头台
Next the walls were closed on me
我如那傀儡随风摇摆
And I discovered that my castles stand
谁又曾渴望万人膜拜
我听到耶路撒冷钟声响起
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
罗马骑兵为我奏响哀歌
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我的传教士屹立在那疆土之外
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
浮沉半生，我终究无法释怀
Be my mirror my sword and shield
我亦知天国之门不会向我敞开
My missionaries in a foreign field
一旦你离去，便不再有忠言逆耳存在
For some reason I can't explain
但，这便是由我而主宰的时代
Once you go there was never
oh×6
Never an honest word
oh×6
oh×6
But that was when I ruled the world
oh×6
纵情高歌，生命万岁
It was the wicked and wild wind
我听到耶路撒冷钟声响起
罗马骑兵为我奏响哀歌
Blew down the doors to let me in
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
我的传教士屹立在那疆土之外
浮沉半生，我终究无法释怀
People couldn't believe what I'd become
我亦知天国之门不会向我敞开
Revolutionaries wait
我亦知天国之门不会向我敞开
可，这就是由我而主宰的时代
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
