1TOP RATED
#1 top rated interpretation:Brian May said himself that this song is about the end of the world. My interpretation of how the song says the world will end is by war:
"Till one day they call your name" (draft)
"In the shadow of the mushroom cloud"
"What the hell we fighting for ?" -

it is about the end of the world and god's hammer to come crashing down. so that line about the bomb is saying after that death the hammer needs to come and judge the people who set that off
