I used to rule the world
大千世界曾由我主宰
Seas would rise when I gave the word
巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
Now in the morning I sleep alone
而今我却在黎明独自入眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
在曾属于我的大道上落寞徘徊
I used to roll the dice
我曾孤注一掷
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
让敌人不寒而栗
Listen as the crowd would sing
欣然倾听万人高歌喝彩
Now the old king is dead
如今 先王亡矣
Long live the king
新王万代
One minute I held the key
我曾一度掌控所有
Next the walls were closed on me
转瞬才知高墙林立 不可翻越
And I discovered that my castles stand
恍然发现我的城池
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
基底散如盐沙 乱似尘埃
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
为我指引方向 护我安然无恙
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法解释
Once you go there was never
一旦你离开这里
Never an honest word
便再没有逆耳忠言
But that was when I ruled the world
这便是我统治的时代
It was the wicked and wild wind
凛冽邪风呼啸袭来
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹散重门使我深陷阴霾
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
断壁残垣 礼崩乐坏
People couldn't believe what I'd become
世人不敢相信我已不复当年
Revolutionaries wait
起义大军翘首期待
For my head on a silver plate
有朝一日 我被俘虏
Just a puppet on a lonely string
恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆
Oh who would ever want to be king
谁又曾渴望登基王位 受万人膜拜
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
为我指引方向 护我安然无恙
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法解释
I know saint peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼德不会唤我之名
Never an honest word
便再没有逆耳忠言
But that was when I ruled the world
这便是我统治的时代
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
为我指引方向 护我安然无恙
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法解释
I know saint peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼德不会唤我之名
Never an honest word
便再没有逆耳忠言
But that was when I ruled the world
这便是我统治的时代
