From the ’Sheer Heart Attack’ album, 1974. written by Freddie Mercury. “Lily of the Valley“ is one of May’s favorite songs by Mercury. Mercury played piano and did all of the vocals. The song has a reference to Seven Seas of Rhye in the line “messenger from Seven Seas has flown to tell the King of Rhye he’s lost his throne.**** “ Lyrics: I am for ever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no? Neptune of the seas An answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn’t know I lie and wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course My Kingdom for a Horse But each time I grow ols Serpent of the Nile Relieve me for a while And cast me from you’re spell, let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown. **** To tell the King of Rhye he’s lost his Throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace For the lily of the valley doesn’t know..
