Seven Seas Of Rhye
Queen · Queen II
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
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
Seven Seas Of Rhye stands as a defining track from Queen's early period, appearing on their 1974 album Queen II. The song showcases the band's theatrical rock style, driven by Freddie Mercury's dynamic vocal performance and the group's powerful instrumental arrangement. Originally written by Mercury, the composition blends hard rock energy with a dramatic, almost operatic sensibility that would become a hallmark of the band's identity. Its distinctive rhythm and memorable chorus helped establish Queen's reputation for creating anthemic, stadium-ready rock music. As part of their growing discography, the recording highlights the creative synergy between the band members during a formative era. The track remains a celebrated example of classic rock, reflecting the ambition and musical diversity that characterized Queen's work throughout the 1970s.
