Rufus Wainwright – Rainbow Crossing lyrics

Well since you are my archenemy
I'm gonna give you some time
With a heart that's made filled with alcohol
Water can be wine

Hope the rocks are not too slippery
When through the center I slay
Won't you stand in straight as an evergreen
When it all gives way

Oh brace yourself
It's a world we'll spin about
Since I'm the right side of this legend
Those who have the sense to fear in me
Know I'm the dark prince and you are the peasant

Oh but wait for me on the rainbow crossing
Cause I need to there for to meet the maker
Finally I will see your person
But my greatest fear are your shining features

So much time has been spent inventing
Crime that I've grown to love
Your fiery nature
Beware

On the rainbow crossing
You can check your spears, your bows and arrows
Meet me there above the river flowing
And we'll enter in the greatest heroes

Though they say Valhalla ain't what it used to be
Still I reckon that it can't be all that bad
It can't be any worse than a world without a friend
