Across The Rainbow Bridge lyrics

[Forever of the Stars: Peter Daltrey]

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: Damian Wilson]

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: Edwin Balogh]

Beyond these Stygian skies

Our fortress lies!

[All:]

Across the rainbow bridge!

[Roman: Edwin Balogh]

We'll span the sea of tears

And conquer all our fears

Inside

[Knight: Damian Wilson]

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!

[All:]

Beyond these Stygian skies

Our fortress lies

Across the rainbow bridge

We'll span the sea of tears

And conquer all our fears

Forsake this mourning field

And drop your shield

Across the rainbow bridge

Run to the other side

Where all our dreams abide

[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]

Scarlet crimson rosy red

I must be dead or stoned out of my head

[Indian: Sharon Den Adel]

Hoooooooooh!

[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]

Orange yellow tangerine

The acid queen in a psychedelic scene

[Indian: Sharon Den Adel]

Hoooooooooh!

[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]

Ochre chestnut chocolate brown

I'm upside down on a cosmic eiderdown

[Indian: Sharon Den Adel]

Hoooooooooh!

[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]

Ivory milky chalky white

The stars ignite, I vanish in the light

That burns so bright!

[Forever of the Stars: Peter Daltrey]

Step forward! Step forward!

Beyond lies your goal:

The Electric Castle!

The past is gone!

Do you wish to lapse in limbo forever?

No! No! No!

Be resolute!

There are trials ahead

And rewards for those who strive

(haha)

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

Run run

(Run run)

Run run

The past is gone, it cannot be undone

Run run

(Run run)

Run run

The future is here, our fate is drawing near

Run run

[All:]

Beyond these Stygian skies

Our fortress lies

Across the rainbow bridge

We'll span the sea of tears

And conquer all our fears

Forsake this mourning field

And drop your shield

Across the rainbow bridge

Run to the other side

Where all our dreams

(abide)

(Aaaaaayyyyyyeh!)
