Lyrics Across the Rainbow Bridge - 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?
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
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, no, no!
Be resolute! There are trials ahead
And rewards for those who strive
Hah! 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! 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
