Verse 1

I used to rule the world

我曾统治这个世界

Seas would rise when I gave the word

下令之时海潮涌动

Now in the morning I sleep alone

而今早晨却形单影只

Sweep the streets I used to own

清扫我曾拥有的街道

Chorus

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

我听见耶路撒冷钟声敲响

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

罗马骑士的歌声在歌唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield

成为我的镜子我的剑与盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的传教士远赴他乡

For some reason I can't explain

我无法解释某种原因

Once you'd gone there was never never an honest word

自你离去后再无真言

And that was when I ruled the world

那是我统治世界的日子

Verse 2

It was the wicked and wild wind

邪恶狂风席卷而过

Blew down the doors to let me in

吹开大门迎接我入内

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

碎裂的窗户与鼓声轰鸣

People couldn't believe what I'd become

人们无法相信我的改变

Revolutionaries wait

革命者等待着

For my head on a silver plate

将我的头放上银盘

Just a puppet on a lonely string

只是一只孤独线上的傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king

谁会愿意成为国王

Chorus Repeat

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

我听见耶路撒冷钟声敲响

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

罗马骑士的歌声在歌唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield

成为我的镜子我的剑与盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的传教士远赴他乡

For some reason I can't explain

我无法解释某种原因

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我知道圣彼得不会召唤我的名字

Never an honest word

再无真言

But that was when I ruled the world

那是我统治世界的日子
