After some careful listening, I am now certain that "God works in mysterious ways... mysterious ways..." in reverse, is this Japanese phrase:
"Iie, Suisei-dan... iie, suishinsha da..."
Pronounced with a British accent and some mistakes, eg. a very obvious glottal stop between Sui and sei, which, coulped with the pronunciation of a as æ, makes it very easy to mistake "Suisei-dan" for "Sweet Satan". Also "sh" mistakenly pronounced as a plain "s" (or maybe not, remember I listened to it at too fast speed, so sh's could have been distorted into s's).
A translation would be: "No, Team Mercury... no, you're the leader...".
Remember, in Japanese, Suisei (literally water planet) is planet Mercury, and suishinsha is a word for leader that someone at Queen could have come up with by making a play on Suisei.
Also the "d" in "da" is muffled, and could be mistaken as a "b", hence why "Suishinsha da" has been mistekn for "[Ye]s I've seen Sabbath".
Now, I *COULD* still be wrong, but I think this is it. A sentence involving the Japanese translation of Mercury's name and a word for leader that is almost a play on it, and the notion of leader itself matching Mercury's position in Queen.
But, I am open to convincing that I'm wrong.
Edit: Seems ""Iie, Suisei-dan... iie, suishinsha ba..." is also a valid sentence and means: "No, Team Mercury... no, if I was the leader...". Consider that the first part is in Brian's voice and the second part in Freddie's, now it sounds almost like a dialogue:
Brian: Iie, Suisei-dan...
Freddie: Iie, suishinsha ba, ...
Translation:
Brian: No, Team Mercury...
Freddie: No, if I was the leader...
Which actually does sound like a statement Freddie would make, especially when view in light of his interview statements where he said his music was "disposable" and he was "musical prostitute".

Yes it's backwards and distorted, but I think you'll find it is ACTUALLY Mercury saying "Paul Rodgers is my favourite singer; I would love Adam Lambert - please work with them"......
