In The Lap Of The Gods

"In the Lap of the Gods" is, according to Mercury himself, the direct prelude to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the A Night at the Opera album in general. There are fast piano arpeggios as in "Death on Two Legs" and some multi-tracked harmonies. Taylor provided the screams, which he proved weren't artificially created when he did them every night during their world tour.

[Intro] Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaaaaaaah Aaa-aaaah, aah (uu-uh) Aah, leave it in the lap of the gods [Verse] 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?
