|
Life isn't as colourful as it once was |
|
The colour of blood determines the day |
|
Warring countries, warring streets |
|
Shots ringing through each dark night |
|
And you hear the children screaming |
|
You could, if you would, hear the unborn cry |
|
No cry as in good past days |
|
Or on better ways |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
And you darken your brow in consternation |
|
Asking me, pleading me, fully against |
|
How one can live, hope, or dream today |
|
Without resigning or drowning |
|
The end of a day, worse than yesterday |
|
No work, no money, no land in sight |
|
Only one thing's for sure: It can't get worse |
|
'Cause you've reached the pit |
|
Just enjoying TV, watching the killing, |
|
'Till you turn away, 'cause you're hurt inside |
|
But the stillness of evening is ravaged by a scream |
|
And a siren blares through the night |
|
[Refrain:] |
|
Give me your hand, I will show you the way |
|
To the Rainbow Land |
|
'Cause the meaning of life is to live after life |
|
And you need not commit suicide |
|
Give me your hand, I will show you the way |
|
To the Rainbow Land |
|
Come with me on a trip where you can see |
|
The way to the Rainbow Land |
|
The rich and famous are dying in drugs |
|
Or into materialism or a new religion |
|
And everyone else is following blindly |
|
Not as much cash, but they are doing it |
|
Just don't stand so you can think |
|
Don't look behind or you'll realize the game |
|
Who cares what it costs, if it's not your money |
|
What does it matter, if you have the gain? |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I tell you: Life is a long journey |
|
There is a time after time without time |
|
And there will be two heavens in eternity |
|
You can tell them Rainbow Land and downtown |
|
Or you can say heaven and hell |
|
They are just names, the places remain |
|
You're deciding now, where you'll be then |
|
It's the story of Rainbow Land , from the book of life. |
|
[Refrain] |
