我的佈道者們遠涉異邦
I used to rule the world
他們的使命我無法言明
Seas would rise when I gave the word
自從你離開之後，就從未有過
Now in the morning I sleep alone
從未有過一絲真言
Sweep the streets I used to own
那就是我統治這世界的年月
I used to roll the dice
是那邪惡而狂野的風
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
掀翻那阻擋我進去的重重的門
Listen as the crowd would sing
窗櫺破碎，鼓聲喧天

我的下場無人能料
Now the old king is dead
革命者在等待
Long live the king
銀盤裡乘著我的頭顱
One minute I held the key
我只是那命懸一線的傀儡
Next the walls were closed on me
唉，早知如此，何必為王
And I discovered that my castles stand
我聽見耶路撒冷傳來洪亮的鐘聲

羅馬騎兵的唱詩班正在吟誦
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
作為我的明鏡， 我的劍和盾

我的佈道者們遠涉異邦
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
他們的使命我無法言明
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
我深知聖彼得不會再認我
Be my mirror my sword and shield
從未有過一絲真言
Mymissionaries in a foreign field
但那正是我統治這世界的年月
For some reason I can't explain
哦哦哦哦哦
Once you go there was never
哦哦哦哦哦
Never an honest word
哦哦哦哦哦

哦哦哦哦哦
But that was when I ruled the world
哦哦哦哦哦

聽見耶路撒冷傳來洪亮的鐘聲
It was the wicked and wild wind
羅馬騎兵的唱詩班正在吟誦

作為我的明鏡， 我的劍和盾
Blew down the doors to let me in
我的佈道者們遠涉異邦
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
他們的使命我無法言明

我深知聖彼得不會再認我
People couldn't believe what I'd become
從未有過一絲真言
Revolutionaries wait
但那正是我統治這世界的年月

For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
