Seas would rise when I gave the word 四海潮涨随吾令
Now in the morning I sleep alone 今孤独眠至清晨
Sweep the streets I used to own 但扫属我往日巷
I used to roll the dice 昔日生杀随我意
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes 乐见寇目惊惧意
Listen as the crowd would sing: 常闻众皆高声呼
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" 先君已去我王永
One minute I held the key 一朝大权手中握
Next the walls were closed on me 旋见墙垣困吾身
And I discovered that my castles stand 惊觉孤之帝王业
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand 恰似础沙易覆城
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 耶城钟声入吾耳
Roman calvary choirs are singing 罗马战歌唱高声
Be my mirror my sword and shield 明镜利剑与坚盾
My missionaries in a foreign field 吾之教士在异乡
For some reason I can’t explain 个中缘由难确明
Once you know there was never, never an honest word 汝知再无片言真
That was when I ruled the world 此乃孤曾拥辉煌
It was the wicked and wild wind 邪风骤起破门入
Blew down the doors to let me in 窗残鼓振声四起
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 置我汹涌刀兵中
People couldn’t believe what I’d become 众皆疑吾将向善
Revolutionaries wait 揭竿高呼革命号
For my head on a silver plate 欲斩孤首置银盘
Just a puppet on a lonely string 朕虽为皇实孤傀
Oh who would ever want to be king? 复有谁人愿为君
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 耶城钟声入吾耳
Roman calvary choirs are singing 罗马战歌唱高声
Be my mirror my sword and shield 明镜利剑与坚盾
My missionaries in a foreign field 吾之教士在异乡
For some reason I can’t explain 个中缘由难确明
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name 自知天堂门紧闭
Never an honest word 再无片言可为诚
But that was when I ruled the world 但孤尚曾掌万邦
(Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 耶城钟声入吾耳
Roman calvary choirs are singing 罗马战歌唱高声
Be my mirror my sword and shield 明镜利剑与坚盾
My missionaries in a foreign field 吾之教士在异乡
For some reason I can’t explain 个中缘由难确明
I know Saint Peter will call my name 自知天堂门紧闭
Never an honest word 再无片言可为诚
But that was when I ruled the world 但孤尚曾掌万邦
(Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh)
