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 sweep alone

而今我却在黎明独自入眠

Sweep the streets I used to own

在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊

I used to roll the dice

凡人生死曾由我主宰

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开

Listen as the crowd would sing

欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩

Now the old king is dead Long live the king

先王亡矣！新王万代！”

One minute I held the key

此刻我手握权位经脉

Next the walls were closed on me

转瞬才知宫墙深似海

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 a 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

担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌

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释怀

Once you go there was never never an honest word

一旦你离开这里便不再 不再有逆耳忠言存在

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

世人不敢相信我已当年不再

Revolutionaries wait

起义大军翘首期待

For my head on a silver plate

有朝一日我站上断头台

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

悲哉 谁又曾渴望万人膜拜

I hear Jerusalem bells a 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

担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌

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释怀

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开

Never an honest word

不再有逆耳忠言存在

But that was when I ruled the world

但这却是我统治的时代

Ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo

噢噢噢噢噢噢噢噢~~~

I hear Jerusalem bells a 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

担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌

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释怀

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开

Never an honest word

不再有逆耳忠言存在

But that was when I ruled the world

但这却是我统治的时代

I hear Jerusalem bells a 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

担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌

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释怀

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开

Never an honest word

不再有逆耳忠言存在

But that was when I ruled the world

但这却是我统治的时代
