In the Lap of the Gods Lyrics
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
I live my life for you
Think all my thoughts
With you and only you
Anything you ask I do, for you
I touch your lips with mine
But in the end, I leave it to the lords
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
What more can I do?
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
(I leave it to you)
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
(I want you to)
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Leave it in the lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Lap of the Gods
Well, to me, this is a tragic tale of loving someone but not knowing if you're able to express it enough. Leaving it to God to decide how it goes. Somehow, I get a feeling that there is something drug-related going on beneath the surface, but that's probably just me.
@freddieismyqueen No drugs, but it has a lot to due with leaving it in Gods hands

@freddieismyqueen Fred, Thanks man. Sounds close enough. Will close my eyes to interpret the drug part.

I read in an interview with Freddie that this song is like a prelude to Bohemian Rhapsody, but I guess that is more from a musical point of view than a lyrical. Given my interpretation of BR it is anyway.
@dave871馃憤 thanks on that. The money part verse is hard to tie into that.

I think you are spot on with the interpritation.

I think Freddieismyqueen is pretty much right about the meaning of this song. Also, I think Freddie might have been stoned or something when he wrote this. I mean, the song's so out there, man! Especially the intro and all that, so..yeah, there's my two cents.

I believe Mercury wrote this about the manager that Queen had at the time. The same guy he wrote "Flick Of The Wrist" and "Death On Two Legs" about. The First verse falls in to that meaning strongly, very strongly, if you understand Mercury, If it was about love it would have been a love song. Mercury was a artist of the highest degree. He hated the greed and the bad side of things that people some times have in the music business. Queen had a contract with a greedy Manager, and at that point it was left in the Lap of the gods, due to a contract. When you can't do any thing more than you can do, It's In The Lap Of The Gods.
I'M not sure I understand the 2nd verse, but I have a good idea.
Cheers, SilverBeat
I had the pleasure of attending a Queen concert 7 times, and the pleasure of shaking Mercury's hand.

In the end of the Revisited version, you notice at the end an explosion. Well that was achived through tape saturation. Why else would they sing the chorus over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
