On a misty may morning Somewhere in L.A. The Man On The Silver Mountain Had faded away Angels had come When most expected beasts A new journey begun Ronnie rest in peace And thousands came to honor The Elf that became a King Protests on the sidewalk Inside good friends would sing
Ride away on your Rainbow Through The Gates of Babylon In Heaven and Hell They know you well Sing us a song you’re the singer Your voice will live on You might be The Last in Line But you will always shine
You said Long Live Rock’n’Roll And from that day on the path was laid We sold our soul A price we proudly paid You knew the Mob Rules Led by Neon Knights You raised us well and made us all Your Rock’n’Roll Children With dragons by your side You sat on your throne Commanding us all To Stand Up and Shout
Ride away on your Rainbow Through The Gates of Babylon In Heaven and Hell They know you well Sing us a song you’re the singer Your voice will live on You might be The Last in Line But you will always shine
Can I ask you a question Something I’d like to know Did Ritchie ever thank you For making his Rainbow glow What was he thinking When he told you to go Didn’t he know we’d follow you Where ever you put on a show You gave new life to Sabbath A Sign of The Southern Cross And never again would children Be lost to the sea
Ride away on your rainbow Through the Gates of Babylon In Heaven and Hell They know you well Sing us a song you’re the singer Your voice will live on You might be The Last in Line But you will always shine
Why did they fear you Those holy men in black They blamed and accused you A Light in the Black Come on Holy Diver Go on and give them hell Born a true survivor You didn’t need no Wishing Well
So long Ronnie Thank you from us all They will all welcome you In that great hallowed hall
