歌词
I used to rule the world
我曾站在世界之巅
Seas would rise when I gave the word
我每发出命令 连海洋也咆哮着响应
Now in the morning I sleep alone
这是个我独自睡着的清晨
Sweep the streets I used to own
沦落在曾属于我的街头
———MUSIC———
-
I used to roll the dice
我曾转动命运的轮盘
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
享受在敌人眼里绽放的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing:
听泱泱万民高护：
"Now the old king is dead
“先帝驾崩
Long live the king "
吾皇万岁”
One minute I held the key
我曾手握至高权柄
Next the walls were closed on me
如今空留满面尘沙
And I discovered that my castles stand
我才发现我的城池倚靠着
Upon pillars of salt' pillars of sand
倚靠着散乱的砂石
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
耶路撒冷的钟声如雷贯耳
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的呼声响彻云霄
Be my mirror my sword and shield
做我明镜 做我锋芒 做我盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士远在他乡
For some reason I can't explain
因为一些我也说不清的原因
Once you know there was never'
若你离开此地便再无
Never an honest word
再无衷肠相诉
That was when I ruled the world
这却确是我所统治的时代
———MUSIC———

It was the wicked and wild wind
寒风粗犷凌冽
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹倒门扉使我得以进入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
支离的窗与沉重的鼓
People couldn't believe what I'd become
人们不敢相信我如今的境地
Revolutionaries wait
革命者们等待着
For my head on a silver plate
等待我首级落入银盘
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我只是个傀儡
Oh who would ever wanna be king
一个曾渴望称王的傀儡
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
耶路撒冷的钟声如雷贯耳
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的呼声响彻云霄
Be my mirror my sword and shield
做我明镜 做我锋芒 做我盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士远在他乡
For some reason I can't explain
因为一些我也说不清的原因
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知天堂并非我的归宿
Never an honest word
再无衷肠相诉
But that was when I ruled the world
这却确是我所统治的时代

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
（呜呼）
Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
耶路撒冷的钟声如雷贯耳
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵的呼声响彻云霄
Be my mirror my sword and shield
做我明镜 做我锋芒 做我盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士远在他乡
For some reason I can't explain
因为一些我也说不清的原因
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知天堂并非我的归宿
Never an honest word
再无衷肠相诉
But that was when I ruled the world
这却确是我所统治的时代
