Queen Lyrics
“Seven Seas Of Rhye”
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye
Can you hear me you peers and privy counselors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you’ll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye
Sister – I live and lie for you
Mister – do and I’ll die
You are mine I possess you
I belong to you forever
Storm the master-marathon I’ll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire I’ll survive
Then I’ll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
Then I’ll get you
Be gone with you – you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
I’ll take you to the seven seas of Rhye
