Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere

Σαν σήμερα, το 1978, οι Rainbow κυκλοφόρησαν το Long Live Rock'N'Roll

Έναν δίσκο που ήταν τελευταίος ήταν με τον Dio στα φωνητικά. (για να πάει στους Black Sabbath)

Μετά απο αυτόν οι Rainbow δεν θα ηχούν πια το ίδιο, θα στραφούν σε πιο mainstream δρόμους.

Με τραγουδάρες όπως το Long Live Rock'N'Roll, Lady Of The Lake, Gates Of Babylon, Kill The King και την υπέροχη μπαλάντα-νανούρισμα Rainbow Eyes έφτασε στο νούμερο 89 του Billboard200

Το track list είναι το εξής:

1. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll
2. Lady of the Lake
3. L.A. Connection
4. Gates of Babylon
5. Kill the King
6. The Shed (Subtle)
7. Sensitive to Light
8. Rainbow Eyes


Σε αυτόν τον δίσκος έπαιξαν και δημιούργησαν οι Rannie James Dio -φωνή- Ritchie Blackmore -κιθάρα/μπάσο- Cozy Powell- τύμπανα- Bob Daisley -μπάσο στα Kill the King, Sensitive to Light και Gates of Babylon-

Ο Martin Birch έκανε την παραγωγή (πάλι αυτός;;;)


Οι κυρίες ας ακούσουν το Rainbow Eyes

Οι κύριοι τα υπόλοιπα...

At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear

In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do

Like a syren on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live Rock and Roll
Long live Rock 'n' Roll
Long live Rock and Roll

in a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a syren on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live Rock and Roll
Long live Rock 'n' Roll
Long live Rock and Roll

If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around

And tell everyone here
That it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screaming through the air
Long live Rock and Roll
Long live Rock 'n' Roll
Long live Rock and Roll



There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands

When a movement behind hit the side of my mind
I trembled and shook it away
Then another assault and I started to faulter
Fibres of steel turned to clay

With a bubbly turn now the water should churn
And push it way from the core
And a lady in white will bring sun to the night
Brighter than ever before

Straight down I'm swirling around
Blinded and bruised by the strain
There must be some way to see
Diamonds out of the rain



Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away
Oh gates of Babylon

You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The gates of Babylon

You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A sabre dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away

The devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon



Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down

Kill the king, yeah
Strike him down

Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
And fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king

Treason, treason, the spectre looms again
Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah
Got to take his crown
Crown

Kill the king
He'll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar

Kill the king, yeah
Take his head
Down, down, down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh



She's been gone since yesterday
Oh I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words you can't defend
They lead to never more

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
All the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes

Oooh, ooh
