Viva La Vida (Mike Koglin Dub Mix)
I used to rule the world 
我曾经统治世界 
Seas would rise when I gave the word 
只要我一个口令就能使海水升起 
Now in the morning I sweep alone 
如今的早晨只剩我独自环顾四周 
Sweep the streets I used to own 
环视每条曾经属於我的街道 

I used to roll the dice 
过去只要我转动手中的骰子 
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 
就能感受到敌人眼中的恐惧 
Listen as the crowd would sing: 
听著人民传颂著 
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" 
旧王朝被推翻了！新国王万岁！ 
One minute I held the key 
前一刻我还握著世界之钥 
Next the walls were closed on me 
下一秒世界却从我手中消失 
And I discovered that my castles stand 
原来我所竖立的城堡 
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand 
只是不堪一击的砂城 

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
我听见耶路撒冷的鐘声响起 
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
罗马的骑兵唱诗班正在吟唱著 
Be my mirror my sword and shield 
请成為我的镜子 我的刀与盾 
My missionaries in a foreign field 
我的传教士流亡在外 
For some reason I can't explain 
我无法解释原因為何 
Once you go there was never, never an honest word 
但是只要你来过 将会发现这裡没有诚实的语言 
That was when I ruled the world 
那就是我曾经统治的世界 

It was the wicked and wild wind 
当时刮起邪恶的狂风 
Blew down the doors to let me in. 
吹垮所有入口的城门让我进入 
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 
窗户上震碎的玻璃 发出阵阵巨响 
People couldn't believe what I'd become 
人民无法置信我成為他们的国王 
Revolutionaries Wait 
革命者伺机而动 
For my head on a silver plate 
等著我的头颅作為祭品 
Just a puppet on a lonely string 
我只是绑著一条细弦的傀儡 
Oh who would ever want to be king? 
噢 谁会想成為这样的国王 

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
我听见耶路撒冷的鐘声响起 
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
罗马的骑兵唱诗班正在吟唱著 
Be my mirror my sword and shield 
请成為我的镜子 我的刀与盾 
My missionaries in a foreign field 
我的传教士流亡在外 
For some reason I can't explain 
我无法解释原因為何 
I know Saint Peter won't call my name 
我知道连圣彼得都不愿提起我的名子 
Never an honest word 
不曾有过真诚两个字 
But that was when I ruled the world 
但那就是我曾经统治的世界 
(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)
