请成为我的镜子 我的刀与盾
I used to rule the world
我的传教士流亡在外
Seas would rise when I gave the word
我无法解释原因为何
Now in the morning I sweep alone
但是只要你来过
Sweep the streets I used to own
将会发现这里没有诚实的语言
I used to roll the dice
那就是我曾经统治的世界
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
当时刮起邪恶的狂风
Listen as the crowd would sing:
吹垮所有入口的城门让我进入
"Now the old king is dead
窗户上震碎的玻璃 发出震震巨响
Long live the king "
人民无法置信我成为他们的国王
One minute I held the key
革命者伺机而动
Next the walls were closed on me
等着我的头颅作为祭品
And I discovered that my castles stand
我只是绑着一条细弦的傀儡
Upon pillars of salt' pillars of sand
噢 谁会想成为这样的国王
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听见耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟唱着
Be my mirror my sword and shield
请成为我的镜子 我的刀与盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士流亡在外
For some reason I can't explain
我无法解释原因为何
Once you know there was never'
我知道圣彼得将呼唤我的名字（意指自己死去）
Never an honest word
不曾有过真诚两个字
That was when I ruled the world
但那就是我曾经统治的世界
It was the wicked and wild wind
喔～～～～～～
Blew down the doors to let me in
我听见耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
罗马的骑兵唱诗班正在吟唱着
People couldn't believe what I'd become
请成为我的镜子 我的刀与盾
Revolutionaries wait
我的传教士流亡在外
For my head on a silver plate
我无法解释原因为何
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我知道圣彼得将呼唤我的名字（意指自己死去）
Oh who would ever wanna be king
不曾有过真诚两个字
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
但那就是我曾经统治的世界
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
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells a 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
