Seven Seas of Rhye (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 24th December 1975) Lyrics

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
Right, a number we forgot to do in the set
It's called “Seven Seas Of Rhye”

[Verse 1]
Fear me you Lords and Lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers

[Chorus]
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye

[Verse 2]
Can you hear me, you peers and privy counselors?
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust

[Chorus]
I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye

[Bridge]
Sister— I live and lie for you
Mister— Do and I'll die
You are mine, I possess you
I belong to you forever, ever, ever
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Storm the master-marathon
I’ll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire, and I'll survive (I'll survive, I'll survive)
Then I'll defy the laws of nature, 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

[Chorus]
And with a smile
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

[Outro]
Oh yeah, come on, let me take you
Come on, let me take you
Come on, let me take you
To the Seven Seas of Rhye

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
Thank you, thank you very much
We sincerely mean that
Thank you very much for being such a nice audience!
