I THINK "The Prophet's Song" is about Noah's Arc. The lyrics has a lot of simmularities.
Noah tried to tell the people of the city he lived in that God was mad at them. And that God would make a lot of water come and destroy all life on earth, at least on the dry land. But the people didn't listen to him and called him a madman, because of what he told them and because he built a boat/arc (a big boat) so far from the sea.
God gave Noah some time to collect 2 of every kind of animals, one male and one female to have on his arc.
"and two by two my human zoo, They'll be running for to come, running for to come out of the rain".
After many days, I think it was about 3 years Noah sendt a bird out, and Noah thought that if it didn't came back it would have found dry land, and if it came back that it was still just water everywhere.. But the dove came back with a green leaf.
"Fly and find the new green bough, Return like the white dove".
I DON'T REMEMBER IT CORRECTLY, SO I'M SORRY IF IT'S NOT 100% CORRECT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE STORY OF NOAH'S ARC... ...Sorry if everybody knew this already...??!!!! and sorry about my poor English.
Anyway, I find it strange that Brian May wrote a song like this, now that he is out with his "Bang!" book and everything...

According to what Brian says about the Prophet's Song in the Documentary on the Making of ANATO; the lyric came to him in a dream. So he took it and turned it into a song. On the topic of Queen's religious standpoint; Roger has his clear opinions about it, I don't believe John ever wrote about it either. Brian and Freddie wrote all of the material that would have any religious standpoint at all. I think Freddie's lyrics show confusion, wheras Brian's are warnings and/or cries for help.
