Prince recently penned a song for his purple comrades, the Minnesota Vikings. The song, “Purple and Gold” was written by Prince after viewing the Viking’s 34-3 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Prince, who was in attendance at the game was inspired to write a fight song for the team.

“I saw the future,” said The Purple One, who went home that night and wrote the song.  Even though the team was “4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings’ horn,” Minnesota lost to the New Orleans Saints in a 31-28 overtime win yesterday.

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
