I used to rule the world 我曾主宰世间万物
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 如今我却只独眠于清晨
Sweep the streets I used to own 清扫那在曾属于我的街道
I used to roll the dice 我曾经掷出命运之骰
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 尽情品味惊恐在敌人眼中绽放
Listen as the crowd would sing: 慰然倾听愚民高歌喝彩：
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" “先王亡矣！新王万代！”
One minute I held the key 上一秒我尚且手握权位经脉
Next the walls were closed on me 转瞬宫墙已向我关闭
And I discovered that my castles stand 恍然发现我的城池
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 散如盐沙，乱似尘埃
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 我能听到圣城耶路撒冷之铃响彻云霄
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield 以吾为镜，剑盾嘹亮
My missionaries in a foreign field 我的传教士横征于四海
For some reason I can't explain 只因我所不能阐述的缘由
Once you go there was never, 自你离去，
never an honest word 忠言便不复存在
That was when I ruled the world 而这便是我统治的世界
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 谁人猜想到我的最终下场
Revolutionaries wait 革命军迫不及待
For my head on a silver plate 在银盘子上摆上我的头颅
Just a puppet on a lonely string 也不过是个独线傀儡
Oh who would ever want to be king? 哦，谁还曾梦想成为一国之君？
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 我能听到圣城耶路撒冷之铃响彻云霄
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield 以吾为镜，剑盾嘹亮
My missionaries in a foreign field 我的传教士横征于四海
For some reason I can't explain 只因我所不能阐述的缘由
I know Saint Peter won't call my name 我知道圣彼特不再唤我之名
Never an honest word 忠言从未存在
But that was when I ruled the world 但这却是我统治的世界
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 我能听到圣城耶路撒冷之铃响彻云霄
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield 以吾为镜，剑盾嘹亮
My missionaries in a foreign field 我的传教士横征于四海
For some reason I can't explain 只因我所不能阐述的缘由
I know Saint Peter won't call my name 我知道圣彼特不再唤我之名
Never an honest word 忠言从未存在
