Текст песни Mike Tramp - Hymn To Ronnie

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
