Lyrics
Although no game features lyrics, the original song had them (sung by Freddie Mercury).
It's a kind of magic It's a kind of magic A kind of magic One dream one soul one prize one goal One golden glance of what should be It's a kind of magic One shaft of light that shows the way No mortal man can win this day It's a kind of magic The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time It's a kind of magic The waiting seems eternity The day will dawn of sanity Is this a kind of magic It's a kind of magic There can be only one This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done This flame that burns inside of me I'm here in secret harmonies It's a kind of magic The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time It's a kind of magic It's a kind of magic The rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be will soon be Will soon be done This is a kind of magic There can be only one This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done-done Magic - it's a kind of magic It's a kind of magic Magic magic magic magic Ha ha ha, it's magic It's a kind of magic
