Lyrics

Rainbow Demon

[Verse 1]

There rides the Rainbow Demon

On his horse of crimson fire

Black shadows are following closely

On the heels of his desire

[Verse 2]

Riding on in the mist of morning

No one dared to stand in his way

Possessed by some distant calling

Riding on through night and day

[Chorus]

Rainbow Demon, pick up your heart and run

Rainbow Demon, lives for his sword and his gun

[Verse 3]

Riding on in the mist of morning

No one dared to stand in his way

Possessed by some distant calling

Riding on through night and day

[Chorus]

Rainbow Demon, pick up your heart and run

Rainbow Demon, lives for his sword and his gun

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Rainbow Demon, pick up your heart and run

Rainbow Demon, lives for his sword and his gun

[Outro]

Rainbow Demon, pick up your heart and run

Rainbow Demon, lives for his sword and his gun

Rainbow Demon, pick up your heart and run

Rainbow Demon, lives for his sword and his gun, gun

Rainbow Demon, pick up your heart and run
