I would say this was Freddie accepting his fate in this song, but seeing as stejsmith pointed out it was for Mr.Bad Guy, I guess not, but it does fit well, so I can see why its on the band's final album. When I first heard this on The Very Best of Freddie Mercury Solo, I really didn't like it, but when I head the version from the Made in Heaven album, I fell in love with it...Brian's guitar and Roger's drums just add so much more to it, and Freddie's vocals are, as always, amazing.
