Rainbow In The Dark [2004 archive]

       RAINBOW IN THE DARK

IT IS FRIGHTENING -
- JUST HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO DOWN.
IT CAME FREE, AND WE SEE, WHAT COULD BE -
- ONCE LOST IT CAN NEVER BE FOUND.
WE CRY AT THE TRAGIC -
- FEEL IT MAINLY LATE AT NIGHT.
WE FEEL COLD, IN OUR SOUL -
- BUT THE SHADOWS WE MUST FIGHT.
ALL THE SIGNS OF “THE MOURNING” RISING.
OUR HEARTS JUST A STONE.
WITH THE RAINBOW IN THE DARK.

ALL OUR DEMONS -
- WILL THEY EVER LET US GO?
WE HAVE TRIED, BUT CAN’T HIDE, WHAT’S INSIDE -
- “THE PAIN” IS SOMETHING WE JUST KNOW.
“THE DREAM” IS JUST A PICTURE -
- A PERFECT VISION, LOST WITH TIME.
LOVES A LIE, THOUGH WE TRY -
- SO WRONG WITHOUT A RHYME.
ALL THE SIGNS OF “THE MOURNING” COMING
AND WE FEEL SO ALONE -
WITH JUST THE RAINBOW IN THE DARK.

IT IS FRIGHTENING -
- HOW IT ALWAYS BRINGS US DOWN.
WE JUST TRY, NOT TO CRY, AT THE LIE -
- WE ONCE MORE TRIED TO MAKE ALIVE.
IT WOULD BE TRAGIC -
- IF IT WASN’T JUST OUR FATE.
IT’S “THE FEAR”, ALWAYS NEAR -
- BUT THE WARNING CAME TOO LATE.
ALL THE SIGNS OF “THE MOURNING’S” RETURNED
NO SIGN OF THE END -
WE JUST SIT HERE ALONE -
WITH THE RAINBOW IN THE DARK.
THE LONELY RAINBOW IN THE DARK.

the chorus of which is. . .

in the dark -
   there's a rainbow.
other side,
   where the dreams go to die.
in the dark -
   there's a rainbow.
other side -
   where the dreams go -
   where the dreams go -
that's where the dreams go
   when they die.]
