Well to find the meaning of that verse is just to confusing so here is where it originated from.

There are many coincidences between Bohemian Rapsody song and Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe (lived in England at the same time as Shakespeare).

Dr. Faustus is basically the standard Faust legend... a person who, unfulfilled with their life, chooses to sell his soul to the devil. He has "killed a man" (himself) by damning himself to an eternity in hell. He "puled the trigger" by signing away his soul. He seeks greater knowledge and enlighntenment, and at one point even asks to go back to the time of Galileo. Only later does he regret his pact with the devil.

He then tries to plead for release from his agreement. Good and Evil angels argue for his soul ("spare him his life..." "No, we will not let him go", "Let himn go!", etc.) He pleads with God for his help ("Bismillah" Arabic for 'in the name of Allah').

He eventually realizes that there is no escape from his fate. He will spend thousands, hundreds of thousands of years in hell. Nothing matters anymore. He is resigned to his fate. He awaits the final entry of the devil ("beelzebub") to take him down to hell at midnight ("sends shivers down my spine")... he fears the "Thunder and Lightning."

There are many other coincidences that are too strong to ignore. I do not have any doubt that BoRap is about the Faust legend, probably influenced heavily by Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus."

As a long time (i mean loooonngg time) Queen fan, i think the lyric content is more ambiguous content, meaning - don't get all wrapped up in a message that only Freddy knew , listen to the music man!

According to articles and interviews, Freddie Mercury never really stated what the lyrics meant. He preferred that fans came to their own conclusions with his songs. In my opinion it sounded like his own personal struggles dealing with his religion.
