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
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' 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 a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
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
[Interlude]
[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 (Mmm, mmm)
Aw, who would ever wanna be king?
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
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: Brian Eno, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Chorus: Chris Martin, Brian Eno, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
My missionaries in a foreign field
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
For some reason I can't explain
(Oh-oh-oh, 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
当我说这个词时，海洋会上升
现在早上，我一个人睡觉
扫过我过去拥有的街道
[器乐插曲]
[第2节：克里斯·马丁]
我曾经掷骰子
在我的敌人眼中感受到恐惧
聆听人群会唱歌
现在老王已经死了，国王万岁
一分钟，我握住钥匙
接下来，墙壁上的我
我发现我的城堡站着
在盐和沙子的支柱上
[合唱：克里斯·马丁]
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声a-ringin'
罗马骑兵合唱团唱歌
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
我在外国领域的传教士
由于某种原因我无法解释
一旦你走了，就永远不会
从来没有诚实的词
那是我统治世界的时候
[插曲]
[第3节：克里斯·马丁]
那是邪恶的狂风
吹下门让我进去
破碎的窗户和鼓声
人们简直不敢相信我会变成什么
革命者等待
对于我的头上的银板
只是一个孤独的弦上的木偶（嗯，嗯）
噢，谁想成为国王？
[合唱：克里斯·马丁]
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声a-ringin'
罗马骑兵合唱团唱歌
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
我在外国领域的传教士
由于某种原因我无法解释
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
从来没有诚实的词
但这就是我统治世界的时候
[桥：Brian Eno，Guy Berryman，Jonny Buckland＆Will Champion]
哦，哦，哦，哦，哦
哦，哦，哦，哦，哦
哦，哦，哦，哦，哦
哦，哦，哦，哦，哦
[合唱：克里斯·马丁（Chris Martin），布莱恩·埃诺（Brian Eno），盖伊·贝里曼（Guy Berryman），乔尼·巴克兰（Jonny Buckland＆Will）冠军]
（哦，哦，哦，哦，哦）
听到耶路撒冷的钟声a-ringin'
（哦，哦，哦，哦，哦）
罗马骑兵合唱团唱歌
（哦，哦，哦，哦，哦）
成为我的镜子，我的剑和盾
（哦，哦，哦，哦，哦）
我在外国领域的传教士
（哦，哦，哦，哦，哦）
由于某种原因我无法解释
（哦，哦，哦，哦，哦）
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
