Across the Rainbow Bridge

by Thin lizzy

My days are numbered: soon I have to leave
The Norns have stretched my living thread
The notion of my demise won't leave me be
Why cannot death just set me free!
I've lived a life of prosperity
But I'm not as young as I used to be
Down the road waits misery
Why cannot death just set me free!
Set me free!
Countless armies have I attacked
Not once have I backed down
And though I've spilled a lot of blood
I never once received a mortal wound
I've raided shores in many lands
I cannot count the men I've killed
So many friends died with sword in hand
But the warrior's death was never granted me
I dress myself in battle clothes
Alone I make the final ride
My sight is blurred, by whipping snow
I seek to end my life
I want to walk across the Rainbow Bridge
And see my fathers in the golden hall
They beckon me to join their feast
In my dreams I hear their call

Across the Rainbow Bridge

by buckcherry

And now this Rainbow Bridge: an iridescent span of tears - so fragile and
yet so strong. Will it support you 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:
Beyond these stygian skies our fortress lies
across the rainbow bridge
we'll span the sea of tears and conquer all our fears (inside)
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:
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 shields
across the rainbow bridge
run to the other side where all our dreams abide
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, 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
