Princes of the Universe Lyrics
[Intro]
Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers, hey!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
And here we are, we're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings (yeah, yeah)
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of your world
[Chorus]
Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers, hey!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
And here we are, we're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings (yeah, yeah)
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of your world
[Chorus]
Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
[Bridge]
No man could understand, my power is in my own hand
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(People talk about you, people say you've had your day)
I'm a man that will go far
Find the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time, yeah
I know that people talk about me, I hear it every day
But I can prove them wrong, 'cause I'm right first time
[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, alright
Let's go, let's go, ha-ha!
Yeah, watch this man fly, whoo!
Bring on the girls, come on, come on, come on
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are (here we are)
Born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong
[Chorus]
Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got the world in my hands
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
(Universe, universe, universe)
No man could understand, my power is in my own hand
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(People talk about you, people say you've had your day)
I'm a man that will go far
Find the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time, yeah
I know that people talk about me, I hear it every day
But I can prove them wrong, 'cause I'm right first time
[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, alright
Let's go, let's go, ha-ha!
Yeah, watch this man fly, whoo!
Bring on the girls, come on, come on, come on
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are (here we are)
Born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong
[Chorus]
Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got the world in my hands
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
(Universe, universe, universe)

Genius Annotation
The de facto theme from the Highlander franchise, playing during the credits of the original movie and the opening sequence of the TV series. In contrast to “Who Wants to Live Forever”, this is all about how immortality is awesome and those who have it feel all powerful!
