From the pyramids to the petrol age And did DaVinci dream of man in space When did Nero know that Rome would fall And the search lights crossing on that crumbling wall. From when one man walked to when he walks again Troubles travelled in the shadows of men Strains of thunder stretched across the globe Until d**h comes wandering in scarlet robed. You steal down the rainbow you steal down the rainbow Get you ready for the light show. From the colosseum to the carnival
From the dinosaurs have we come so far And how we constant struggle with the powers of mind To a fainter heartbeat now were marching time. From the first mans love to the last mans war Will those light years find that invisible star Tears are falling are of cyanide In lost remembrance from eternities skies. And you steal down the rainbow you steal down the rainbow Get you ready for the light show. Get you ready for the light show.
