作曲 : Coldplay作词 : ColdplayIused to rule the world大千世界曾由我主宰Seaswould rise when I gave the word巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃Nowin the morning I sleep alone而今我却在黎明独自入眠Sweepthe streets I used to own在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊Iused to roll the dice大千世界曾由我主宰Feelthe fear in my enemy's eyes尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开Listenas the crowd would sing:欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩"Nowthe old king is dead! Long live the king!"“先王亡矣!”“新王万代!”Oneminute I held the key此刻我手握权位经脉Nextthe walls were closed on me转瞬才知宫墙深似海AndI discovered that my castles stand恍然发现我的城池Uponpillars of salt, pillars of sand基底散如盐沙乱似尘埃Ihear Jerusalem bells a-ringing听那耶路撒冷钟声传来RomanCavalry choirs are singing罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海Bemy mirror my sword and shield担当我的明镜,利剑和盾牌Mymissionaries in a foreign field我的传教士屹立边疆之外Forsome reason I can not explain只因一些缘由我无法释怀Onceyou go there was never, never an honest word一旦你离开这里便不再,不再有逆耳忠言存在Thatwas when I ruled the world而这便是我统治的时代Itwas the wicked and wild wind凛冽邪风呼啸袭来Blewdown the doors to let me in.吹散重门使我深陷阴霾Shatteredwindows and the sound of drums断壁残垣礼崩乐坏Peoplecould not believe what I'd become世人不敢相信我已当年不再RevolutionariesWait起义大军翘首期待Formy head on a silver plate有朝一日我站上断头台Justa puppet on a lonely string恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆Ohwho would ever want to be king?悲哉,谁又曾渴望万人膜拜?Ihear Jerusalem bells a-ringing听那耶路撒冷钟声传来RomanCavalry choirs are singing罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海Bemy mirror my sword and shield担当我的明镜,利剑和盾牌Mymissionaries in a foreign field我的传教士屹立边疆之外Forsome reason I can not explain只因一些缘由我无法释怀Iknow Saint Peter won't call my name我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开Neveran honest word不再有逆耳忠言存在Butthat was when I ruled the world而这便是我统治的时代(OhhhhhOhhh Ohhh)(哦哦哦)HearJerusalem bells a-ringing听那耶路撒冷钟声传来RomanCavalry choirs are singing罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海Bemy mirror my sword and shield担当我的明镜,利剑和盾牌Mymissionaries in a foreign field我的传教士屹立边疆之外Forsome reason I can not explain只因一些缘由我无法释怀Iknow Saint Peter won't call my name我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开Neveran honest word不再有逆耳忠言存在Butthat was when I ruled the world而这便是我统治的时代
