Which Queen album contains the song “The Prophet’s Song”?

Queen’s “The Prophet’s Song” appears on the 1975 album A Night at the Opera.

Written by Brian May, “The Prophet’s Song” is one of the album’s longest tracks, running for more than eight minutes. Its arrangement includes acoustic and electric guitar, heavy sections, and an extended vocal canon created through layered overdubbing. The song’s lyrics draw on apocalyptic and biblical imagery, including a prophetic warning about a coming flood.

The track was recorded during the same ambitious sessions that produced “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Both songs demonstrate Queen’s interest in combining contrasting musical sections and densely arranged vocals, although “The Prophet’s Song” was not released as a single.

Listeners sometimes place the song on Queen II because that album also has a fantasy-influenced atmosphere and elaborate vocal arrangements. However, “The Prophet’s Song” belongs specifically to A Night at the Opera, where it appears before “Love of My Life” on the original album sequence.
