The Fallen Priest

Words and music by Freddie Mercury, Mike Moran and Tim Rice


Free me,free yourself

A life of sacrifice controlled me
But those promises I made
No longer hold me
Mercurial, more wayward by the hour
The shackles fall away I'm in your power

Free me (I'm a man of god) free yourself
Come to me (it should not be) and let me lead you
I beg you,I beseech you to let go
My heaven is yours
And heaven is all I know

We are mortal
In the hands of gods who roll the dice
Searching for an earthly paradise
So hard to find
We are mortal
Victims of our weaknesses and passion
We are reaching from the heights
(I am falling,I am falling,falling from the heights)

But I promised I would serve
I should be a rock against depravity and sin
Oh, no sin, no sin
Free yourself,let your life begin

To yourself be true
I am a man of god
I should not be here with you

Free me,we are mortal,ah

Come a little closer to the fire
Than to love and live that one desire
Denial of that love is treason
The love that we make
The force of our lives and it's reason

We are mortal
In the hands of gods who roll the dice
Searching for an earthly paradise
So hard to find
We are mortal
Victims of our weaknesses and passion
(I am falling,I am falling,we we are mortal)

Why do I believe in you
You're destroying my world
Hold nothing back
Give me all there is
I want it all

We are locked in each other's arms

This is where we stand
This is all there is
Prisoners of each others love
Yes we want it all
