The Prophet’s Song was released by Queen. Guitarist Brian May wrote the song in the 1970s after he had a dream about the Great Flood - depicted in the book of Genesis, as well as in many other ancient manuscripts. May's lyrics even mention the return of the white dove, which was the bird that Noah released to see if the waters had gone down, and which returned after seven days with an olive branch in its beak. The working title was 'People Of The Earth,' a phrase that came to May in his dream and made it into the lyric. At over eight minutes in length, is also Queen's longest song with vocals.
