Resurrection
Brian May · Back to the Light
Confusion in my heart
My blood's fit for bursting
My body apart - I'm gonna ride -
Ride the night into the morning sun
Gonna make my resurrection
No more of this crap
Got a whole new direction
Ain't no turning back
Resurrection is a-gonna come
My spirit is weeping
For freedom it cries
Ben scraping my living
In the Valley of Lies
Ride the night into the morning sun
I'm a victim of a victim
Of a conspiracy
>From a corpum derelictum
Gonna fly and be free
The resurrection is a-gonna come
Clear the vision
Heal the system
Sins forgiven - RISE!
Flee the prison
Break the system
Sins forgive - RISE!!RISE!!
Ride the night- yes I know I'm still alive -
Gotta ride the night - yeah I'm gonna ride -
Gonna rise again in the morning light
There's no use in counting
The price of those years
There's too many heartaches
And too many tears
Gotta ride the night into the morning sun
Yes I thought I was dreaming
But the East is ablaze
With promise of the future
Those Heavenly Days
Ride the night into the morning sun
Ride the night - into the morning sun
Cos the resurrection is a-gonna come

Resurrection - Brian May
Brian May's "Resurrection" stands as a pivotal track on his 1987 album "Back to the Light," marking a significant shift in his musical direction. Released during a period of intense personal and professional transformation, the song reflects the themes of renewal and spiritual awakening that permeate the entire record. As a lead vocalist and guitarist for Queen, May's work here demonstrates his evolution from the hard rock of "The Game" era toward a more introspective, melodic style characterized by lush harmonies and acoustic textures. The recording captures the raw emotion of a man navigating the aftermath of his wife's death while simultaneously embracing new creative possibilities. "Resurrection" remains a defining example of May's solo artistry, showcasing his ability to blend personal narrative with universal themes of hope and rebirth within the progressive rock genre.
