The Prophet's Song Lyrics
Artist(Band):Queen
Review The Song (23)Print the Lyrics
Words and music by Brian May

Oh oh people of the earth
Listen to the warning the seer he said
Beware the storm that gathers here
Listen to the wise man

I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hand on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare

I watched as fear took the old men's gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
'I see no day' I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal

Oh oh people of the earth!
'Listen to the warning' the prophet he said
For soon the cold of night will fall
Summoned by your own hand

Ah ah children of the land
Quicken to the new life take my hand
Fly and find the new green bough
Return like the white dove

He told of death as a bone white haze
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Late too late all the wretches run
These kings of beasts now counting their days

From mother's love is the son estranged
Married his own his precious gain
The earth will shake in two will break
And death all round will be your dowry

Oh oh people of the earth
Listen to the warning the seer he said
For those who hear and mark my words
Listen to the good plan

Oh oh oh oh and two by two my human zoo
They'll be running for to come
Running for to come out of the rain

Oh flee for your life
Who heed me not let all your treasure make you
Oh fear for your life
Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you
Should death await you

Ah people can you hear me?
And now I know and now I know
And now I know and now I know
That you can hear me
And now I know and now I know
And now I know Now I know
Now I know now I know
Now I know now I know
Now I know
The earth will shake in two will break
Death all around around around around
Around around around around
Now I know now I know
Now I know now I know
Now I know now I know
Now I know now I know
Now I know now I know
Now I know
Wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo
Listen to the wise listen to the wise listen to the wise
Listen to the wise listen to the wise man
La la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la
La la
La la
Come Here (I - You)
Come Here (I - You)
Come Here (I - You)
Come Here (I - You)

Ah ah ah ah ah
Listen to the man listen to the man listen to the man listen
to the mad man

God gave you grace to purge this place
And peace all around may be your fortune

Oh oh children of the land
Love is still the answer take my hand
The vision fades a voice I hear
Listen to the madman!

But still I fear and still I dare not
Laugh at the madman!

Review about The Prophet's Song

Unique | Reviewer: Niloo | 10/31/09

I strongly believe that every song from the album " A Night at the Opera " is a true masterpiece in music history. This song clearly shows genius of Queen. I advise everyone to listen to this song. Even those who don't listen to Queen normally or that kind of music. The Prophet's Song will blow your mind, I promise.



Five Stars | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/09

By far, my favourite Queen song.
This song is as relevant now-a-days as it was thirty years ago.
You could read the lyrics alone and recognize how incredible this song has the potential to be..
The execution of everything is absolutely stunning. I would've killed just to hear Freddie Mercury sing three lines of this song live. Everything about this song is epic, everything about it is brilliant.



Yet another reason | Reviewer: GutterTheatrical | 6/2/09

it's not played on radio, other than length and follow-in to Love Of My Life, is the tone. This kind of epic songs with more, let' say, serious lyrics, are not really radio favorites. Just spending a half hour on some station you see the deepest they go is breakup songs.
Man, it's a pity. To just stop and listen to this... it makes you feel and *think*. And it rocks your socks, too =)

Beautiful song. Another thing that makes this song great is that it's very hard to stay in tune when singing A Capella, so I commend the boys for doing so well. And the dynamic movements were all so clean. Great technique from them. I wish modern-day songs incorporated these elements.
Oddly enough, I always thought this song had a Native American sound to it and was shocked when I found it it was really Brian May's dream about the Great Flood.



:) | Reviewer: todd | 5/19/08

Some are wondering how this song is not on the greatest hits. Its because Queen have so very many great songs & I say it would have been quite a hard task to make a greatest hits with the such a large selection of great songs they had. The whole album A night at the opera is great & I suggest anyone buy it, download it, whatever u have to do to listen to it because it will just blow you away just as it did me



The Cream of the Crop | Reviewer: Tal | 3/31/08

Wow it's so great to see so many people all laying praise to this song! It has easily been one of my favourite songs of all time since I was a little kid! Yet so few people really know this song.

Listen to the mad man!



The reason The Prophet's Song is not played on the radio | Reviewer: Caro Wood | 1/20/08

The reason the Prophet's song is not played on the radio is not only because it's an eight minutes and 23 second epic, but also because the song was designed to segue into Love of My Life, the next song on the Night at the Opera album. The intro to Love of My Life is written into the ending of Prophet, so to play one without the other sounds clipped. All of you who love this song should absolutely listen to the two together. They are utterly different in flavour, but compliment each other beautifully.



Possible reason it's not played on the radio | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/08

This song's eight minutes and twenty-one seconds long, so I think its length excludes it from being played, as a station can easily fit in 2 or 3 songs in the time it would take to play this.

I agree that this is one of their best songs, though.



The best song | Reviewer: Nikola | 9/16/07

the prophets song is one of the BEST songs from queen. i cant stop listening to it. its so amazing both lyrically and musically. and i love the canon in the middle. hands down amazing song.



Flipping Hella Crazy | Reviewer: Jenn | 6/19/07

This song used to be my fave when i was like 8, but then my bro heard it and liked it, so i didn't. . . But now I've been doing some serious iPod purging and i rediscovered this song and have returned it to its rightful place as #2 all-time best Queen song (next to Bohemian Rhapsody that is)
