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大千世界曾由我主宰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, pillars of sand基底散如盐沙乱似尘埃I hear Jerusalem bells are 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 not 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而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 could not 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 not 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而这便是我统治的时代(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)(哦哦哦)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 not 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而这便是我统治的时代
