In The Lap Of The Gods
Written by Freddie Mercury
Aaah, ooh, ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I live my life for you
Think all my thoughts with you, and only you
Anything you ask I do, for you
I touch your lips with mine
But in the end
I leave it to the lords
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
What more can I do ?
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I leave it to you
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I want you to, aah
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods, aah
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods, aah
Lap of the Gods, aah
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Written by Freddie Mercury
Aaah, ooh, ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I live my life for you
Think all my thoughts with you, and only you
Anything you ask I do, for you

But in the end
I leave it to the lords
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
What more can I do ?
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I leave it to you
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I want you to, aah
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods, aah
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods, aah
Lap of the Gods, aah
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
