We’re in the Scottish highlands for a wedding. (Kilt picture may follow.) We saw the Eilean Donan Castle yesterday. The castle was featured in Highlander, one of those films that has an oddly enduring popularity, but that also seems like an appropriate source for this week’s song lyric. Here’s the opening of Queen’s “Princes of the Universe” that was featured in the movie.
Here we are, born to be kings
We’re the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers
And here we are
We’re the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We’ve got to be the rulers of your world
I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of new earth
Here are the full lyrics, and here is a movie video of the song.
