For my head on a silver plate 有朝一日我站上断头台 Just a puppet on a lonely string 恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆 Oh who would ever want to be king 悲哉，谁又曾渴望万人膜拜

我不可自拔地爱上你 你该明了 我以深深爱上你 整颗心早已游向你 整歌人想急着飞奔到你面前 却又止步 不知如何靠近你 哦！这是多么艰难的一件事 因为你事如此胆怯小心

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field

— coldplay 《Viva La Vida》

I used to rule the world，大千世界曾由我主宰，Seas would rise when I gave the word，巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃，Now in the morning I sleep alone，而今我却在黎明独自入眠，Sweep the streets I used to own，在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊，I used to roll the dice，大千世界曾由我主宰，Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes，尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开，Listened as the crowd would sing:，欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩
