Prince: Records New Song In Honor of the Minnesota Vikings

Comments (4)




Who said Prince isn't a die hard sports fan?

Apparently, the "Purple One" is very supportive of the Minnesota Vikings current trek towards the Super Bowl.

The Minnesota native was so inspired by his home team's 34-3 blowout against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday that he wrote an ode in honor them aptly titled, 'Purple and Gold.'

"I saw the future," the iconic music legend told MyFoxTwinCities.com, who debuted the track Jan. 22. The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the New Orleans Saints Jan. 24 for the NFC Championship. The winner will advance to the Super Bowl to face the either the New York Jets or the Indianapolis Colts.

Below check out the lyrics and audio for 'Purple and Gold.'

the veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we r the ones who have now come again
and walk upon water like solid ground
as we approach the throne we won't bow down
this time we won't b denied

raise every voice and let it b known
in the name of the purple and gold

we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds r in r favor
no prediction 2 bold
we r the truth if the truth can b told
long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roar

that's what we came 4
and so much more
in the name of the purple and gold

r spirits may b tired
r bodies may b worn
but since this day is r destiny
r history - that's y we must b
4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings' horn
in the name of the purple and gold

CHORUS
