歌词（节选）欣赏

I used to rule the world

 大千世界吾曾主宰。  

Seas would rise when I gave the word

 巨浪滔天皆吾制裁。  

Now in the morning I sleep alone 

 黎明独眠孤寞难捱。 

Sweep the streets I used to own 

 于吾路途漫步徘徊。   

I used to roll the dice 

孤注一掷不惧天灾。  

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 

敌瞳悚怖缕缕散开。 

Listen as the crowd would sing

聆听臣民颂歌震来：  

“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”

“先王已矣，新王万代！”

One minute I held the key 

权匙紧握未然懈怠。  

Next the walls were closed on me  

转瞬才知宫墙深似海

And I discovered that my castles stand  

凝视城郭已然坍埋。 

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

 颓然矗立盐与尘埃。 

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 

耶路撒冷钟声传来。 

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing  

罗马骑兵唱诗天外。 

Be my mirror, my sword and shield 

明镜鉴心，神剑与盾牌。 

My missionaries in a foreign field 

传教地狱边缘地带。  

For some reason I can't explain 

因果难饮吾怎自哀。  

Once you go there was never  

中流砥柱一旦离开。

Never an honest word 

逆耳忠言不再存在。      

That was when I ruled the world  

彼即何时寡人不败。
