Seven Seas of Rhye
Queen Lyrics
Fear me you lords and lady preachers
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 privvy counsellors
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
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
Then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
Then I'll get you
Be gone 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

Written by Queen front-man Freddie Mercury, it is the final track on both the group's debut album Queen (1973) and its follow-up Queen II (1974) with a much less-developed instrumental version was featured on the former. The completed version served as the band's second single, the earliest-released song to appear on their Greatest Hits album, with the exception of some versions where their first single, Keep Yourself Alive, is included.
The song was released as a single, and after the band performed it on Top of the Pops it became their first hit, peaking at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song is about Freddie Mercury's childhood fantasy world named "Rhye". The land of Rhye was originally made up by Mercury and his sister Kashmira when they were children. After joining Queen as an adult, Mercury wrote some songs about that country, including "Seven Seas of Rhye", Lily of the Valley, "My Fairy King, "Ogre Battle", "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke","The March of the Black Queen", "Great King Rat", and "Mad the Swine".
The song became a live favourite throughout Queen's existence. It features a distinctive arpeggiated piano introduction. The theme also appears at the end of "It's a Beautiful Day".
The version on Queen II ends with a cross fade, instruments blending into several people singing "I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside". Its inclusion here on the final track of Queen II is briefly mirrored in the first few seconds of "Brighton Rock", which opens their next album, Sheer Heart Attack. (A few whistled bars can be heard over the introductory noise).
In a 1977 radio interview, Freddie Mercury described the subject of the song as a "figment of his imagination." In the Queen musical We Will Rock You, the Seven Seas of Rhye is a place where the Bohemians are taken after they are brainstormed by Khashoggi.

Lets be honest..
This song is SO under rated but SOOOOO AMAZING!!
All Queen songs are amazing, but this one is so beautiful (once again, like all Queen songs)
But I can't stop listening to my Queen's <3
R.I.P Freddie Mercury/ Farrokh Bulsara. You are greatly missed, and still known as my, and our Queen forever <3
bluebell
Especially when it was their first single to ever chart!
Their first tv appearance
But wasn't important to inc?
Uk no 10 in 74
Later in the year Freddie had his second hit with killer Queen at no 2 uk
Again tv appearance
I feel they're playing down a lot of Freddie achievements and contributions
I saw a clip of killer Queen from the film
Just Freddie being a diva and 'above the waist'
Wtf?

alejandra real pimentel
Me teman, criaturas repugnantes y perezosas
Fear me you loathsome, lazy creatures
Desciendo sobre tu tierra desde los cielos
I descend upon your earth from the skies
Ordeno a vuestras mismas almas, incrédulos
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Trae ante mí lo que es mío
Bring before me what is mine
En los siete mares de Rhye
At the seven seas of Rhye
¿Pueden oírme, compañeros y consejeros privados?
Can you hear me you peers and privy councillors
Me paro ante ti desnudo a los ojos
I stand before you naked to the eyes
Destruiré a cualquier hombre que se atreva a abusar de mi confianza
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
Te juro que serás mía
I swear that you'll be mine
En los siete mares de Rhye
At the seven seas of Rhye
Hermana yo vivo y miento por ti
Sister I live and lie for you
Señor hazlo o muere
Mister do or else die
Eres mia te poseo
You are mine I possess you
Te pertenezco para siempre
I belong to you forever
Asalta el maratón maestro por el que volaré
Storm the master marathon I'll fly through
Por el fuego del relámpago y el trueno sobreviviré
By flash and thunder fire I'll survive
(Sobreviviré, Sobreviviré)
(I'll survive, I'll survive)
Entonces desafiaré las leyes de la naturaleza
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
Y salir vivo
And come out alive
Entonces te atraparé
Then I'll get you
Vete con ustedes senadores cortos y sombríos
Begone with you short and shady senators
Regala lo bueno, deja de lado lo malo, los gritos del mal
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
Desafío al poderoso titán y a sus trovadores
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
Y con una sonrisa
And with a smile
Te llevaré a los siete mares de Rhye
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

Is no one gonna talk about how Roger nailed the vocals AND still rocks the drum perfectly?
Dave Hornsby
Best drum intro
•MattPlayzRoblox•
Its edited they just tracked there sounds and the backround singers aka Roger And Brian and Deacon. They made the voice echo and the guitar echo. And just fixed the mistakes that they made
April Simkins
They are all so perfect together. Harmonies, backing vocals, all so tight.
