I used to rule the world
我曾主宰这世界  
Seas would rise when I gave the word
一声令下 海潮亦俯首  
Now in the mornin' I sleep alone
如今清晨 独卧孤衾  
Sweep the streets I used to own
清扫旧时 属于我的街巷  
One minute I held the key
方才执掌权柄  
Next the walls were closed on me
转瞬高墙囚我  
And I discovered that my castles stand
方知我的城堡  
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
竟立于盐沙之柱
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
耶路撒冷的钟声在回荡
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
罗马骑兵的圣歌在吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
做我的明镜 我的剑与盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
异国他乡的传教士们
For some reason I can't explain
有些缘由我无法言明
Once you'd gone there was never
自你离去后
Never an honest word
再难听闻真诚话语
And that was when I ruled the world
那正是我统治世界的时光
It was a wicked and wild wind
那是阵狂野不羁的风
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹开大门让我进入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
破碎的窗棂与鼓声交织
People couldn't believe what I'd become
人们难以置信我的蜕变
One minute I held the key
方才执掌权柄  
Next the walls were closed on me
转瞬高墙囚我  
And I discovered that my castles stand
方知我的城堡  
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
竟立于盐沙之柱
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
耶路撒冷的钟声在回荡
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
罗马骑兵的圣歌在吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
做我的明镜 我的剑与盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
异国他乡的传教士们
For some reason I can't explain
有些缘由我无法言明
Once you'd gone there was never
自你离去后
Never an honest word
再难听闻真诚话语
And that was when I ruled the world
那正是我统治世界的时光
Never an honest word
再难听闻真诚话语
But that was when I ruled the world
那曾是我权倾天下的时代
