Seven Seas Of Rhye
Queen · Queen
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 councillors
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
At 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
I'll survive I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
And come out alive
Begone 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
Seven Seas Of Rhye

Written by Freddie Mercury, the song features a distinctive structure that builds from a gentle, melodic verse into a powerful, guitar-driven chorus. This dynamic shift highlights the group's ability to blend soft introspection with explosive energy, a hallmark of their developing sound. The recording captures the raw intensity of the band's live performances during their formative years, establishing Mercury as a commanding frontman. As a cornerstone of their initial discography, the track remains a celebrated example of classic rock songwriting, reflecting the ambitious scope that would later define Queen's extensive catalogue and enduring influence on the genre.
