Once, I had an empire in a golden age
從前,我在一個黃金時代擁有一個帝國
I was held up so high, I used to be great
我曾高舉得如此之高,曾經是偉大的
They used to cheer when they saw my face
他們曾經看到我的臉時歡呼
Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
現在,我害怕我已從寵愛中墜落
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
我感覺我的城堡正在崩潰
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
我看著所有的橋都燒毀了
And you don't want to know me
你不想認識我
I will just let you down
我只會讓你失望
You don't wanna know me now
你現在不想認識我
Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
從前,我是一個王朝的偉大希望
Crowds would hang on my words, and they trusted me
人群會聽我的話,他們信任我
Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far
他們的信念很堅定,但我做得太過分了
I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart
我一直懷著怨恨直到它把我撕裂
Power went to my head, and I couldn't stop
權力讓我得意忘形,我無法停下來
Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
我愛的人試著幫助我,但我把他們趕走了
And here I sit alone, behind walls of regret
而我現在孤獨地坐在後悔的牆後面
Falling down like promises that I never kept
像我從未履行的承諾一樣崩潰
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
我感覺我的城堡正在崩潰
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
我看著所有的橋都燒毀了
And you don't want to know me
你不想認識我
I will just let you down
我只會讓你失望
You don't wanna know me now (now)
你現在不想認識我
My foes and friends watch my reign end
我的敵人和朋友目睹我的統治結束
I don't know how it could've ended this way
我不知道它怎麼會以這種方式結束
Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
我的船隻在港口冒出煙霧
People look at me like I'm a monster
人們看著我好像我是怪物
Now they're screaming at the palace front gates, used to chant my name
現在他們在宮殿前的大門上尖叫,曾經他們會高呼我的名字
Now they're screaming that they hate me
現在他們尖叫著他們討厭我
Never wanted you to hate me
從來沒有想讓你討厭我
My castle's crumbling down
我的城堡正在崩潰
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
我看著所有的橋都燒毀了
And you don't want to know me
你不想認識我
I will just let you down (just let you down)
我只會讓你失望
My castle's crumbling down
我的城堡正在崩潰
You don't wanna know me now
你現在不想認識我
