Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers, heh
And here we are, we're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of you all

I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings - yeah - yeah
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of you all

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free
Got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe

No man could understand
My power is in my own hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, people talk about you
People say you've had your day
I'm a man that will go far
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time - yeah
I know that people talk about me - I hear it every day
But I can prove them wrong 'cos I'm right first time
Yeah, yeah, alright, let's go, let's go, ha haa
Yeah, watch this man fly, wooh
Bring on the girls - c'mon - c'mon - c'mon
Here we are - here we are
Born to be kings, we're the princes of the universe
Here we belong
Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe, of the universe, of the universe
Of the universe of the universe

    General Comment:Sorry Tas Jedi, I just listerned to both Princes and Seven Seas and they don't seem that similar to me.

    Anyway, I remember getting A Kind of Magic when it was first released in 86. It's probably my most played Queen album, I had a coloured double vinyl of Live Killers, that got a lot of play too.

    My Interpretation:Princes basically is a rewrite of "Seven Seas of Rhye", the one with lyrics (of course) on Queen II, not the instrumental on the first album, Queen. Google the lyrics.

    True Queen Fan, I'd seen an article years ago make the claim that Freddie wrote We Are The Champions as a gay rights song. But since Freddie never said that, I'm with you, I doubt it; maybe the writer made it up, as a way to support his own agenda. And if it was, it's very funny how instead it got adopted as an anthem for sports teams AND nerds (as in the movie Revenge of the Nerds).

    Under Pressure, now that's obviously one. I cringe everytime I hear it. Especially the high notes. From The Works album (1984) forward (Under Pressure was 1981), Queen made the best music of their career...and it had the fewest high notes (Freddie, that's just not natural). :)

    General Comment:Sorry if I am mistaken with the language, but princes isn't the femine for prince?
    It's a great song but I have a doubt about it all my life.

    General Comment:This really reminds me of Soul Calibur with the eternal battles between good and evil like Siegfried vs Nightmare, Maxi vs Astaroth and Ivy vs Cervantes.
