Analysis of Prince



Oh lets see if I can remember
 My memory deceives me...the past has been long forgotten
 The present at ends-deadly
 Oh but the future !

Bright as the orange star falling from the silent sky
 Yes, the breath taking, conscious waking midnight blue
 It's the year 1999
 When the impossible dreams come true

The presidents war games have taken the best of all mankind
 And no ruler left to rule-what's left
 of God's creation- only mans destructions
 But what comes from up above as true as the white dove

or ornery as the black moon He or is it He ?
 Takes the figure of a mortal, but the soul of a devil
 It's the prince of revelation and his bride
 to be enduring in a celebration of his victory

in the land of red seas and purple rain nothing less
 The lion has lost his crown and thrown to the sterling white horse
 with the magical horn and the Almighty sky ruler has done
 the same to a thundering pitch mammal, the Pegasus-His name.
