歌词
[Verse 1]
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh) Let's go
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
You take it! You take it!
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh) Louder, louder
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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!"
[Verse 4]
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
[Verse 5]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason, I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
[Verse 6]
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
The shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Verse 7]
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
I'm just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
[Verse 8]
Now I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
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
That was when I ruled the world
[Verse 9]
(Lights up!)
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!)
(Okay, let 'em hear!)
[Verse 10]
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh
[Verse 11]
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
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
That was when I ruled the world
[Verse 12]
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh-oh, oh)
[Verse 13]
Everybody put your hands in the air, everybody put your hands in the air
Please, everybody, put your hands in the air
