Gimme The Prize Lyrics
Here I am, I'm the master of your destiny,
I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
Give me your kings, let me squeenze them in my hands,
Your puny princes,
Your so-called leaders of your land,
I'll eat them whole before I'm done,
The battle's fought and the game is won,
I am the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
Move over, I said move over,
Hey, hey, hey clear the way,
There's no escape from my authority - I tell you -
I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
I am the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize.
I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
Give me your kings, let me squeenze them in my hands,
Your puny princes,
Your so-called leaders of your land,
I'll eat them whole before I'm done,
The battle's fought and the game is won,
I am the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
Move over, I said move over,
Hey, hey, hey clear the way,
There's no escape from my authority - I tell you -
I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
I am the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize.

fucking yay! this song rules! this and princes of the universe and amazing tracks, especially the guitar solos. ooh, i just can't get enough of it! anyways, that's what i think...
this is obviously an original song for a movie.
The Kurgan kicks ass
especially when he sez that one thing from Neil Young
its better to burn out than to fade away!
The guitar solo resembles a pipebag, doesn't it?
I mean, beang this song from a movie about a scottish legendary fighter it seems pretty reasonable the connection.
I haven't seen highlander yet, although i would very much like to.
ANd let me just say this song is amazing (but i think it might have been better if Roger sang it)
Roger singin this wud have been interestin yes, but i think we have to leave the stronger tracks for freddie tho, heaviest queen song ever. It is almost exactly the same as princes of the universe tho, which was written by freddie and gimme the prize was by brian, so if some copying was done......... lol
yea this does sound like bagpipe, kinda eery in my opinion but this is great. who does the growly bit? i wud love 2 perform this, it would rok at a metal concert. xxxxxx
Ah! Kurgan's theme! I love this song and i LOVE the kurgan, especially when he's "in disguise". All the songs on this movie (except New York, which was a cover, and i think maybe one other song that was never released in an album) were written for the movie Highlander. It's an awesome movie and anyone who hasn't seen it definitely should. But don't watch the sequel, its crap. The book's good too.
I've never seen "the Kurgan" or "Highlander" (possibly coz I'm from Australia and a little out of touch), but I LOVE this song! Does anyone know who does the voice that says "I am the only one!"?
Im from oz too and the original Highlander is a great classic 80s flick with the best bad guy the 80s ever produced, The Kurgan. The actor Clancy Brown (tv series Sleepy Hollow) plays the Kurgan. His famous line "Its better to burn out than to fade away" and "I know his name". Also the voice of Paralax for Green Lantern reboot.
