Sí amiguitos, el videojuego Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen que da el pistoletazo de salida a la saga Tactics Ogre toma su nombre de dos canciones de Queen, pues al parecer el creador de la misma (Yasumi Matsuno) era un ferviente fan del grupo. En concreto nos referimos a las piezas 6 y 9 de su álbum Queen II editado en 1974: Ogre Battle y March of the Black Queen respectivamente.

Y como lo importante de la música es oirla, aquí va la primera de ellas con su correspondiente letra:



Now once upon a time an old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone and the soup is cold on your table
And if the black crow flies
To find a new destination

That is the sign

Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to the ogre-battle-fight

He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies - the palm of his hand incredible size
One great big eye has a focus in your direction
Now the battle is on
Yeah yeah yeah!

Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to the ogre-battle-fight

The ogre men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
Gotta keep down right out of sight
You can't see in, but they can see out
"Keep a look out"
The ogre men are coming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind and they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cause you gotta go south

Ogre men are going home
And the great big fight is over
Bugle blow, let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for ever more
You can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle!

Ahora viene la namber tú, también con su letrica:



Do you mean it
Do you mean it
Do you mean it
Why don't you mean it
Why do I follow you and where do you go?

You've never seen nothing like it no never in your life
Like going up to heaven and then coming back alive
Let me tell you all about it
And if the world will so allow it
Ooh give me a little time to choose
Water babies singing in a lily-pool delight
Blue powder monkies praying in the dead of night

Here comes the Black Queen, poking in the pile
Fie-fo the Black Queen, marching single file
Take this, take that, bring them down to size

Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys
Little nigger sugar then a rub-a-dub-a-baby oil
Black on, black on, every finger nail and toe
We've only begun - begun
Make this, make that, keep making all that noise
Ooh march to the Black Queen
Now I've got a belly full
You can be my sugar-baby, you can be my honey-chile, yes

A voice from behind me reminds me
Spread out your wings you are an angel
Remember to deliver with the speed of light
A little bit of love and joy
Everything you do bears a will and a why and a wherefore
A little bit of love and joy
In each and every soul lies a man and very soon
He'll deceive and discover
But even till the end of his life, he'll bring a little love

I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right
I'm lord of all darkness, I'm Queen of the night
I've got the power - now do the march of the Black Queen
My life is in your hands, I'll fo and I'll fie
I'll be what you make me, I'll do what you like
I'll be a bad boy - I'll be your bad boy
I'll do the march of the Black Queen

Walking true to style
She's vulgar, 'buse and vile
Fie-fo the Black Queen tattoos all her pies
She boils and she bakes
And she never dots her "i's"

Forget your singalongs and your lullabies
Surrender to the city of the fireflies
Dance withe the devil in beat with the band
To hell with all of you hand-in-hand
But now is the time to be gone - forever

Y de Bonus Track, el tema que cierra el disco y que también tiene su cameo en el juego, Seven Seas of Rhye:



Fear me you Lords and Lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye

Can you hear me you peers and privy counsellors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye

Sister - I live and lie for you
Mister - do and I'll die
You are mine I possess you
I belong to you forever

Storm the master-marathon I'll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire and I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
Then I'll get you
Be gone with you, you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty Titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
I'll take you to the Seven Seas of Rhye
