Fly To The Rainbow Lyrics
Life is empty, can't remember anytime before,
On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore,
Gliding through this life, and another as a child,
Ever doing games, and losing things, always playing gigs.
Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright,
Where the sun is shining, in the night.
I am in disgrace, yet i see your smiling face,
and i hope you let me, share your place.
I don't live today.
Rain in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Sun in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Rain in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Sun in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Rain in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Sun in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Well, I lived in magic solitude,
Of cloudy looking mountains,
And a lake made out of crystal raindrops.
Roaming through space, ten thousand years ago,
I've seen the giant city of Atlantis,
Sinking into eternal wave of darkness.
Shhh.
Somewhere in the blue distance
Are those long forgotten trees of yore
A broken violin floating alone in December
Darkness everywhere, and nothing more
Symbol, strange symbol, melancholy
Painting torrid colors on a sky of green
Candle breathing one night only
Far away, in chillness, bleak, unseen
Drifting galley, ghostlike shadow
Sails rigged to catch and kill the time
Echoes wandering down an endless meadow
I feel ... sublime
On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore,
Gliding through this life, and another as a child,
Ever doing games, and losing things, always playing gigs.
Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright,
Where the sun is shining, in the night.
I am in disgrace, yet i see your smiling face,
and i hope you let me, share your place.
I don't live today.
Back beyond time
Sun in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Back beyond time
Sun in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Back beyond time
Sun in the sky made the world fly into time
Back beyond time
Of cloudy looking mountains,
And a lake made out of crystal raindrops.
Roaming through space, ten thousand years ago,
I've seen the giant city of Atlantis,
Sinking into eternal wave of darkness.
Shhh.
Are those long forgotten trees of yore
A broken violin floating alone in December
Darkness everywhere, and nothing more
Symbol, strange symbol, melancholy
Painting torrid colors on a sky of green
Candle breathing one night only
Far away, in chillness, bleak, unseen
Drifting galley, ghostlike shadow
Sails rigged to catch and kill the time
Echoes wandering down an endless meadow
I feel ... sublime

this song is absolutely incredible! i don't really know what it means though. i found some lyrics for it here:
http://www.lyricsdomain.com/19/scorpions/fly_to_the_rainbow.html
but they made absolutely no sense whatsoever. these ones are better. the guitar part from the middle to the end, after the third repetition of the "back beyond time" bit sounds improvised, but it's not. it's really amazing, i could listen to it all day! and the poem, even though it seems to make no sense, is beautiful, and the outro has some of the most powerful guitar i've ever heard. Uli Jon Roth, the guitarist, lives just down the road from me ;)
The best version of this song is the live one in tokyo tapes. It seems like it's beyond the word music.
This is credited to M Schenker and Uli Roth - Uli picked up a song that Michael had been working on before leaving the band, and added the ending. It's pretty clear when listening to it where the split happens. Absolutely stunning track.
Amazing job with the lyrics. I think they are spot on. One of my favorite Scorps tunes.
