Across The Rainbow Bridge Lyrics by Ayreon

Into the Electric Castle: A Space Opera

1998

[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!)
