Ayreon - Across The Rainbow Bridge lyrics

And now this Rainbow Bridge: an iridescent span of tears - so fragile and yet so strong. Will

it support your mortal shells? Or will you fall into the fiery brine below?

[knight]

I hark back to olden days

to her and her magic ways

two souls in harmony

in an endless sea

the cruel wings of destiny

carried you away from me

and left a heart unstilled

that never will be filled

[roman (chorus:)]

beyond these stygian skies our fortress lies

across the rainbow bridge

we'll span the sea of tears and conquer all our fears (inside)

forsake this mourning field and drop your shield

across the rainbow bridge

run to the other side where all our dreams abide

[knight]

I'd sacrifice my very life

to have you at my side

like a dream I see your face

through the misty haze

we were one amid the stars

and time never healed my scars

deep inside the sadness burns

I must return!

[roman (chorus)]

[hippie]

scarlet crimson rosy red

I must be dead

or stoned out of my head

orange yellow tangerine

the acid queen

in a psychedelic scene

ochre chestnut chocolate brown

I'm upside down

on a cosmic eiderdown

ivory milky chalky white, the stars ignite, I vanish in the light - that burns so bright

Step forward. Beyond lies your goal: the Electric Castle! The past is gone! Do you wish to

lapse in limbo forever? No! Be resolute.. There are trials ahead - and rewards for those who

strive: the Surreal Search endures...

[roman & knight]

run run the past is gone, it cannot be undone

run run the future is here, our fate is drawing near

[roman (chorus)]
