[Verse 1]
Did you ever feel the pain
That he felt upon the cross
Did you ever feel the knife
Tearing flesh that's oh so soft

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Did you ever touch the night
Did you ever count the cost
Do you hide away the fear
Put down paradise as lost

[Chorus]
Yeah you're blinded by rainbows
Watching the wind blow
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you sleep at night
I doubt it

[Verse 2]
Did you ever feel the blast
As the Semtex bomb goes off
Do you ever hear the screams
As the limbs are all torn off

Did you ever kiss the child
Who just saw his father shot
Do you ever shed a tear
As the war drags on and on

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Did you ever touch the night
Or is it just another job
Do you fear the final hours
Put down Paradise as lost

[Chorus 2]
Yeah you're blinded by rainbows
And faces in windows
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you sleep at night
I doubt it

[Verse 3]
Do you ever fear the night
Could it be the war is lost
Do you fear the final hour
Do you kneel before the cross

You're blinded by rainbows
I'm watching the wind blow
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you scream at night
Do you smell the fear
Is your conscience clear

Are you caked in sweat
Are your clothes all wet
Do you see the light
Is the end in sight
See the face of Christ
Enter Paradise
I doubt it

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
