I used to rule the world

巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃

Seas would rise when I gave the word

而今只剩我在黎明入睡

Now in the morning I sleep alone

在曾屬於我的大街落寞徘徊

Sweep the streets I used to own

我聽見耶路撒冷傳來的鐘聲

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

羅馬騎兵歌聲響徹雲霄

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

擔當我的明鏡 利劍和盾牌

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

我的傳教士們屹立於國境之外

My missionaries in a foreign field

只因那些我無法解釋的原因

For some reason I can't explain

自從你們離開後 耳邊再無忠言傾心

Once you'd gone there was never

但這就是我統治的時代

Never an honest word

凡人生死曾由我主宰

But that was when I ruled the world

盡情感受敵人眼中的驚恐

I used to roll the dice

耳邊傳來臣民的讚頌聲

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

"先王逝矣，新王萬歲!"

Listen as the crowd would sing

前一刻 我還執掌大權

Now the old king is dead, Long live the king

下一秒 卻困於牢獄之中

One minute I held the key

恍然發現那雄偉城堡的根基

Next the walls were closed on me

竟只是一堆堆沙樁鹽柱

And I discovered that my castles stand

我聽見耶路撒冷傳來的鐘聲

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

羅馬騎兵歌聲響徹雲霄

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

擔當我的明鏡 利劍和盾牌

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

我的傳教士們屹立於國境之外

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

只因那些我無法解釋的原因

My missionaries in a foreign field

自從你們離開後 耳邊再無忠言傾心

For some reason I can't explain

但那就是我所統治的世界 (中文(台灣)字幕 由 小帥日常頻道 製作/ben chu 修改)

Once you'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world
