歌词
制作人 : Brian Eno/Markus Dravs/Rik Simpson
我曾经统治过全世界
I used to rule the world
海也曾听从我的命令
Seas would rise when I gave the word
如今清晨我独自醒来
Now in the morning I sleep alone
清扫曾属于我的街道
Sweep the streets I used to own
我曾掌控骰子的结果
I used to roll the dice
感受敌人眼中的恐惧
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
曾听见人民一同合唱
Listen as the crowd would sing
先帝早已驾崩
Now the old king is dead
现愿新王万岁
Long live the king
曾几何时我手握钥匙
One minute I held the key
如今却深陷牢狱之灾
Next the walls were closed on me
才发现原来我的城堡
And I discovered that my castles stand
不过建立在散沙之上
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
我听见耶路撒冷铃声响起
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
罗马骑兵合唱团放声歌唱
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
请成为我的明镜 宝剑盾牌
Be my mirror my sword and shield
我派到异国他乡的传教士
My missionaries in a foreign field
因为某些理由我不能解释
For some reason I can't explain
自从你离开以后我便从未
Once you go there was never
从未听到过一句真实的话
Never an honest word
那就是我统治全世界之时
But that was when I ruled the world
狂风一路怒吼 席卷而来
It was the wicked and wild wind
打破那些房门 让我进去
Blew down the doors to let me in
窗户破碎 鼓声不绝于耳
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
人们不敢相信我的结局
People couldn't believe what I'd become
改革者气势汹汹的等待
Revolutionaries wait
希望将我斩首 放入银盘
For my head on a silver plate
其实不过是个傀儡木偶
Just a puppet on a lonely string
谁会想去当一个国王呢
Oh who would ever want to be king
我听见耶路撒冷的铃声
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
罗马骑兵合唱团的歌唱
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
请做我的明镜 宝剑 盾牌
Be my mirror my sword and shield
我在异国他乡的传教士
My missionaries in a foreign field
因某些原因我解释不清
For some reason I can't explain
我明白天堂已与我无份
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
在这充满谎言的世界里
Never an honest word
那就是我曾经统治之地
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
我听见耶路撒冷的铃声
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
罗马骑兵合唱团的歌唱
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
成为我的明镜 宝剑 盾牌
Be my mirror my sword and shield
我派遣至远方的传教士
My missionaries in a foreign field
因为某些理由我无法解释
For some reason I can't explain
深知圣彼得不会呼唤我名
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
这个世界已无一句真话
Never an honest word
那便是我统治的全世界
But that was when I ruled the world
