Ayreon - Across The Rainbow Bridge

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
