Prince has written a song about the Minnesota Vikings in honor of the team's victory over the Dallas Cowboys last weekend and their upcoming NFC Championship game matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

According to MyFoxTwinCities.com, the world-famous musician and Minnesota native said he "saw the future" after Sunday's win and ended up writing "Purple and Gold" later that night.

Huffington Post

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

Prince is a far better poet than Feets is...

Purple and Gold are the colors for the University of Washington

His song reminds me of the UW Fight Song

Bow down to Washington,
Bow down to Washington,
Mighty are the men
Who wear the purple and the gold,
Joyfully we welcome them
Within the victors fold.
We will carve their names (names!)
In the Hall of Fame (fame!)
To preserve the memory of our devotion.
So heaven help the foes of Washington;
They're trembling at the feet
Of mighty Washington,
Our boys are there with bells (bells!),
Their fighting blood excels (excels!),
It's harder to push them over the line
Than pass the Dardanelles.
So victory's the cry of Washington
Our leather lungs together
With a Rah! Rah! Rah!
And o'er the land
The loyal band
Will sing the glory
Of Washington forever.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
