"In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited" is a song by British rock band Queen, written by lead vocalist Freddie Mercury. The song is the closing track on the 1974 album ''Sheer Heart Attack''. It features a powerful anthemic chorus and is considered to be a forerunner to "We Are the Champions". The song also appears on the compilations ''Deep Cuts, Volume 1 (1973-1976)'' and ''Queen Forever''. While it bears a similar name to another track on the same album, there are few similarities between the two. ==Background== Though he was in a relationship Mary Austin, Mercury began to question his sexual orientation in the early to mid-1970s. In December 1974, when asked, "So how about being bent?" in an interview with the ''New Musical Express'', he replied, "Let's put it this way; there were times when I was young and green. It's a thing schoolboys go through. I've had my share of schoolboy pranks. I'm not going to elaborate further."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Highly Strung? (1974 Interview) )〕 Homosexual acts between adult males over the age of 21 had only been decriminalised in the United Kingdom in 1967. Bandmate Brian May has speculated that the song was Mercury's way of expressing his frustration about not being able to be openly gay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queen’s Christmas message: "We need a change of government" )〕
