I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sweep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing:
也曾聽到謠言中唱:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
"現在老國王死了,國王萬歲!"
One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士門仍在異國的戰場
For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there was never, never an honest word
壹但妳走了,那裏永遠不會有壹句誠實的話語
That was when I ruled the world
