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)]
