[Refrain 1: Chris Martin] Je régnais jadis sur le monde Les mers se soulevaient quand j'ordonnais Maintenant le matin, je dors seul Balayer les rues que j'avais autrefois [Pont instrumental] [Couplet 2: Chris Martin] Je jouais à pile ou face Ressentir la peur dans les yeux de mon ennemi Écouter la foule chanter "Maintenant le vieux roi est mort, vive le roi" Une minute, j'avais la clé Ensuite, les murs se sont refermés sur moi Et j'ai découvert que mes châteaux se tenaient Sur des piliers de sel et de sable [Refrain: Chris Martin] J'entends les cloches de Jérusalem sonner Les chorales de la cavalerie romaine chantent Sois mon miroir, mon épée et mon bouclier Mes missionnaires dans un champ étranger Pour une raison que je ne peux expliquer Une fois que tu étais parti, il n'y avait jamais Jamais un mot honnête Et c'était à ce moment que je régnais sur le monde

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
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 enemy's 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
