Rainbow Lyrics

    ------ About the song Stargazer performed by Rainbow

Guys, whether it is or is not about all the opinions here, stop trying to look for so many hidden meanings when there is a story hitting you straight in the face. It IS about the slaves building the pyramid (tower of stone) for the pharaoh. The star is the star that the tomb in the pyramid is directed to. Etc., etc. it's all about that. It's a brilliant song though, RJD is a pure master! BTW this song reminds me of Creeping Death by Metallica - similar story.

    ------ About the song Stargazer performed by Rainbow

I think too much might be being made here of the "deeper meaning" associated with the lyrics. Whether or not any of the opinions are correct, I think the story told within should be taken at face value and we should all celebrate the fact that RJD/RB were so talented to craft this incredible, iconic song. I've listened to it since it came out in '75 and it still has the power to move me every time. One of my favourite songs EVER.

Quick note : James LaBrie, your vocals on the DT cover destroyed it. Sitck to your screamo stuff and don't attempt to sing songs you can't do justice to.

I can't believe none of the dolts on this page even came close to what this song is about. Rainbow fans must be pretty dim. The song is about the Hebrew slaves in Egypt building the pyramids. The "wizard" is the pharaoh. This is of course pre-Moses and Dio sings from the point of the view of the slaves. They never lost their faith in God.

    ------ About the song Can't Happen Here performed by Rainbow

This is one of the better songs to have ever existed!!! I remember watching the video of this song on MTV in the very early-1980s; and even though I'm a metalhead now (I regularly listen to such acts as Anthrax, Metallica, Prong, Raven, Exciter, etc.) I still love the living tweedle out of this song! :-)

It speaks the truth about modern society (our "now" is the "future" that Rainbow sings about in this song), and except for the supersonic jets (rememember the SST that crashed a few years back, effectively putting the kibash on the Supersonic jet program), everything they sing about is so true!!!

    ------ About the song Stargazer performed by Rainbow

in my opinion this song is about religions,and the wizard is like a monk or a priest and also slaves are like us.they are like normal people.wizard command them to make tower. tower is the only hope for the people who want a better life. better life is heaven. slaves want to believe the wizard. because it is the only hope for second life. slaves did everything for the wizard. and then they want to see some signs from the wizard.

when wizard falls down, slaves are shocked. but they continued to believing him.because he was their only hope. when time comes for death, they continued to believe him,but they understand that there isnt any heaven for their second life."but it is not home..."

and also star equals to god. because after wizard falls down. they said "whre was you star" it means "why didnt your god help you?"

I have Only been a Rock Fan,for a Few Years Now,but,just even Reading these lyrics brings back Memories of Ronnie James Dio: i also am quite the Fan of Richie Blackmore,Rainbow and Deep Purple.

I think what Rainbow was trying to say here,too(You know this music also teaches,good lessons if you listen)is alot of times,following some people,just because they promise you a Good Life,and say that their way is Right,doesn't make them right,or even good people;Be Careful who you believe and what you believe:)

    ------ About the song Kill the King performed by Rainbow

MetalGod, I do think Daisley has a nice funkiness to his sound. Granted, Geddy is my fave but I'd say that John Taylor (Duran Duran) is not the BEST bass player in the world, but I still always kinda liked his sound. What I'm getting at is that Mr. Daisley doesn't have to play like Chris Squire to be a competent contributor to a well known band. Plus, I think you were rather harsh on Scot. Again, this is (as Dennis Miller used to say before he lost his edge) just my opinion... I could be wrong.

    ------ About the song THE TEMPLE OF THE KING performed by Rainbow

i wasnt a fan of ritchie blackmore until last night or so . when i listened for the first time i was attracted by the melody only but then i payed attention to the lyrics and they are amazing its a wonderful story about this man who have to go to the temple of the king !!

Scot your a complete fuckin' idiot with NO real talent or value whatsoever, if you cant even rip off a scab player like Bob Daisley than just go stock shelves for minimum wage and scratch your ass and while your at it GO listen to some REAL bassists that had some fame, notoriety and talent like Phil Lynott, Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Steve Harris, Marcus Grosskopf and Roger Glover!
