Lyrics
Black Rainbow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Black poppy sleeps a dreamless night
In summer shade of moony light
Hazy veils of clouds loom low
Like warm kittens close to the earth
Underground bodies stir with no sound
No one to hear them under the ground
Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles
Silvery meadow murmurs the song of
Tiny glow worm glowing
Rain starts her shimmery decent
Into the old leathery sking of the farm
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fearing saint noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to rainbowarrior
Oh my brother do not leave me!
Lest the evilspirits harm you!
Rainbowarriors of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow path awaits us
With hearts of love and tearz
He's dead our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He's gone and forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
Oh my brother, oh my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning embers hearts united
We remembered mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it's deep inside ya
Fear not you're a rainbowarrior
Goldenlight on everything gleaming
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow path awaits us
With hearts of love and tearz
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow path awaits us
With hearts of love and tearz
