I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old King is dead, long live the King
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
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[Bridge: Will, Jonny, Guy, Brian]
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
[Breakdown: Chris Martin & Will, Jonny, Guy & Brian]
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) My missionaries in a foreign field
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) For some reason I can't explain
(Oh-oh-woah, oh-oh, oh) I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[Outro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm...
我曾经统治世界
当我把这个词海洋将上升
现在清晨我独自睡觉
清扫我曾经拥有的街道
[诗2：克里斯马丁]
我用掷骰子
感觉到敌人眼中的恐惧
听到的人群会唱
现在老国王死了，国王万岁！
前一分钟我还持有钥匙
接下来，城墙上我关闭
我发现我的城堡矗立
当盐的柱子和砂的支柱
[合唱：克里斯·马丁]
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声在响
罗马骑兵合唱团的吟唱
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
我在外国传教士场
出于某种原因，我无法解释
一旦你已经走了未曾有
不再有逆耳忠言
这就是我主宰世界
[第3节：克里斯·马丁]
这是邪恶的而狂野的风
刮倒了大门让我进去
破碎的窗户和鼓的声音
人们无法相信我会成为
革命者期待
对于我的头放在银盘
在寂寞绳索上只是一个傀儡
哦，谁真的愿意为王？
[合唱：克里斯·马丁]
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声在响
罗马骑兵合唱团的吟唱
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
我在外国传教士场
出于某种原因，我无法解释
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
不再有逆耳忠言
但是，这是我统治世界
[桥：请问，强尼，盖伊，布莱恩]
哦，哦，哇，哦，哦，哦
哦，哦，哇，哦，哦，哦
哦，哦，哇，哦，哦，哦
哦，哦，哇，哦，哦，哦
[分析：克里斯·马丁和威尔，强尼，盖伊和布赖恩]
（哦，哦，哇，哦，哦，哦）我听到耶路撒冷的钟声在响
（哦，哦，哇，哦，哦，哦）罗马骑兵合唱团的吟唱
