Rainbowland

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.
