Now a rainbow’s tale isn’t quite as nice As the story we knew of sugar and spice But a rainbow’s easy once you get to know it With the help of the magic of a Pegasus Device
What cause have I to feel glad? I've built my life on judgement and causing pain I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome (In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true) Now everything that I've had And everything I've known have been thrown away; (In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through) And with time, I've come to find this isn't my home
I've stoked the fire (In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true) Seen more pain than you can know The tears of the broken have washed away my soul (In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through) Pushed by desire To change the way my stream will flow Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
Let’s delve deeper into rainbow philosophy Far beyond that of Cloudsdale’s mythology It’s easy to misjudge that floating city With it’s alluring decor and social psychology
But with all great things comes a great responsibility (I've stoked the fire Seen more pain than you can know) That of Cloudsdale’s being weather stability (The tears of the broken have washed away my soul) How, you ask, are they up to the task To which the answer is in a simple facility (Pushed by desire To change the way my stream will flow Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control) In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through (I try my best to block out the screams But they're haunting me in my dreams) In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true (Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop) In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true
In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through
I man these wretched machines Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality (In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true) But life is not as it seems Should I take a chance for freedom and throw it all down the drain? (In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through) I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away! (In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true)
In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true
I'm sick of hurting, Sick of thinking it's all I do (In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through) I break those around me, those spared are very few But the bright sun is burning And my sky shines, ever blue Friendships surround me; I'm becoming a part of you
I try my best to block out the screams But they're haunting me in my dreams Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop
Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop
I've stoked the fire Seen more pain than you can know The tears of the broken have washed away my soul Pushed by desire To change the way my stream will flow Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
