Across The Rainbow Bridge Lyrics - Singles - Ayreon

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)]
