Coldplay - Viva la Vida
I used to rule the world /我曾经主宰世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word /一声号令 大浪升平
Now in the morning I sweep alone /如今我清晨独扫
Sweep the streets I used to own /清扫我曾经拥有的街道
I used to roll the dice /我曾孤注一掷
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes /直视敌人眼中恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing: /听人群高唱
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" /旧朝已逝，新王万岁
One minute I held the key /我执掌的那一刻
Next the walls were closed on me /深墙遂将我紧闭
And I discovered that my castles stand /然后我发现我的城堡
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand /屹立在易碎的盐柱之上
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing /我听到耶路撒冷圣钟敲响
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing /罗马骑兵乐团在歌唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield /我的剑盾 闪亮可鉴
My missionaries in a foreign field /却在陌生的领域履行使命
For some reason I can not explain /出于无法解释的原因
Once you know there was never, never an honest word /一旦进入便无诚实可言
That was when I ruled the world /那就是我主宰世界的岁月
It was the wicked and wild wind /是诡异的一阵狂风
Blew down the doors to let me in. /吹开了扇扇大门让我走进
Shattered windows and the sound of drums /粉碎的窗棂 战鼓的轰鸣
People could not believe what I'd become /无人相信我会成为这样
Revolutionaries Wait /革命者在等待
For my head on a silver plate /我走上银刃锋利的断头台
Just a puppet on a lonely string /而我不过是孤弦上的傀儡
Oh who would ever want to be king? /谁会愿意
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
