Lyrics:

(Ahhhhh)

(Ahhhhh)

In the land where horses born with eagle wings

And honey bees have lost their stings

They're singing forever, ooh yeah

Lions den with fallow dear

And rivers made from wines so clear

Flow on and on forever

Dragons fly like sparrows through the air

And baby lambs where Samson dares

To go on, on, on, on

My fairy king (he rules the air)

And can see the things that are not there for you and me to see (he rules the air and turns the tides, oooh yeah)

My fairy king (he guides the winds)

He can only do right and nothing wrong

Ahhhhh

Then came man to savage in the night

To run like thieves and to kill like knives

To take away the power from the magic hand

To bring about the ruin to the promised land

Ahhh, ah, ahh-ahhhh

Ahh-ahhhh

They turn milk into sour

Like the blue in the blood of my veins

(Why can't you see it)

Fire burning in hell

With the cry of a screaming pain

(Son of heaven set me free and let me go)

Sea turns dry no salt from sand

Seasons fly no helping hand

Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eyes

No more

Someone, someone

Has drained the colour from my wings

Broken my fairy circle ring

And shamed the king in all his pride

Changed the winds and wronged the tides

Mother Mercury, look what they've done to me, yeah

I cannot run

I cannot hide

so beautiful it brings tears to the eyes - I think it better than the Album version - more raw, more true....

I think I like the Album version better, but very interesting to hear this - it is a bit more raw, not quite as polished - I still adore this song, and Freddie's voice was certainly angelic...

Yup, it's backward at the beginning.

No, but they did, strangely, play the intro twice in the 80's: once at Sun City, and another time in Tokyo in '85. It's quite strange.

In the mid 1970's when Glitter Rock bands like Queen were producing wonderous songs like this, I couldn't imagine how any artist could come up with anything better. Music had been getting better & better all of my life up until that point, so I figured that someone would find a way to create something even better. However, the answer is, that in the 40 years since this and other Glitter Rock masterpieces were released, NOTHING has come close to even comparing!
