歌詞：

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

而今我卻在黎明獨(dú)自入眠

Sweep the streets I used to own

在曾屬于我的大道落寞徘徊

I used to roll the dice

我曾拋擲決定世界命運(yùn)的骰子

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

感受敵人眼中的恐懼

Listen as the crowd would sing:

聽(tīng)著人民傳頌著

Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

“舊王已死，新王萬(wàn)歲”

One minute I held the key

前一刻我還握著世界之鑰

Next the walls were closed on me

下一秒世界卻從我手中消失

And I discovered that my castles stand

原來(lái)我所豎立的城堡

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

只是基于不堪一擊的沙礫

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

羅馬的騎兵唱詩(shī)班正在吟唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield

請(qǐng)成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的傳教士流亡在外

For some reason I can't explain

我無(wú)法解釋原因?yàn)楹?/span>

Once you gone there was never, never an honest word

你走之后，我身邊再無(wú)忠言逆耳

That was when I ruled the world

那就是我曾經(jīng)統(tǒng)治的世界

It was the wicked and wild wind

當(dāng)時(shí)刮起邪惡的狂風(fēng)

Blew down the doors to let me in

吹開(kāi)所有的城門(mén)讓我進(jìn)入

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

窗戶(hù)上震碎的玻璃發(fā)出陣陣巨響

People couldn't believe what I'd become

人民難以置信我成為他們的國(guó)王

Revolutionaries wait

革命者伺機(jī)而動(dòng)

For my head on a silver plate

等著我的頭顱作為他們的祭品

Just a puppet on a lonely string

我只是綁著一條細(xì)弦的傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king?

噢 誰(shuí)會(huì)想成為這樣的國(guó)王

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

羅馬的騎兵唱詩(shī)班正在吟唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield

請(qǐng)成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾

My missionaries in a foreign field
