Seas would rise when I gave the word

只要我一個口令就能使海水升起

Now in the morning I sweep alone

如今的早晨只剩我獨自環顧四周

Sweep the streets I used to own

環視每條曾經屬於我的街道

I used to roll the dice

過去只要我轉動手中的骰子

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

就能感受到敵人眼中的恐懼

Listen as the crowd would sing:

聽著人民傳頌著

"Now the old king is dead, long live the king!”

「舊王朝被推翻了！新國王萬歲！」

One minute I held the key

前一刻我還握著世界之鑰

Next the walls were closed on me

下一秒世界卻從我手中消失

And I discovered that my castles stand

原來我所豎立的城堡

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

只是不堪一擊的砂城

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

羅馬的騎兵唱詩班正在吟唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield

請成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的傳教士流亡在外

For some reason I can't explain

我無法解釋原因為何

Once you go there was never, never an honest word

但是只要你來過 將會發現這裡沒有誠實的語言

That was when I ruled the world

那就是我曾經統治的世界

It was the wicked and wild wind

當時刮起邪惡的狂風

Blew down the doors to let me in.

吹垮所有入口的城門讓我進入

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

窗戶上震碎的玻璃 發出陣陣巨響

People couldn't believe what I'd become

人民無法置信我成為他們的國王

Revolutionaries wait

革命者伺機而動

For my head on a silver plate

等著我的頭顱作為祭品

Just a puppet on a lonely string

我只是綁著一條細弦的傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king?

噢 誰會想成為這樣的國王

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

羅馬的騎兵唱詩班正在吟唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield

請成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的傳教士流亡在外

For some reason I can't explain

我無法解釋原因為何

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我知道連聖彼得都不願提起我的名子

Never an honest word

不曾有過真誠兩個字

But that was when I ruled the world

但那就是我曾經統治的世界

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

羅馬的騎兵唱詩班正在吟唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield
