Ayreon - Across The Rainbow Bridge lyrics
[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?
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
Beyond these Stygian skies
Our fortress lies!
Across the rainbow bridge!
We'll span the sea of tears
And conquer all our fears inside
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!
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
Scarlet crimson rosy red
I must be dead or stoned out of my head
Hoooooooooh!
Orange yellow tangerine
The acid queen in a psychedelic scene
Hoooooooooh!
Ochre chestnut chocolate brown
I'm upside down on a cosmic eiderdown
Hoooooooooh!
Ivory milky chalky white
The stars ignite, I vanish in the light
That burns so bright!
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
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
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)
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?
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
Beyond these Stygian skies
Our fortress lies!
Across the rainbow bridge!
We'll span the sea of tears
And conquer all our fears inside
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!
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
Scarlet crimson rosy red
I must be dead or stoned out of my head
Hoooooooooh!
