Fly to the Rainbow é o segundo álbum de estúdio da banda de heavy metal alemã Scorpions lançado em 1 de novembro de 1974. Em apoio ao seu último álbum, Lonesome Crow, a banda abriu um show para a banda de rock britânica UFO. Após o final da turnê, o guitarrista da banda Michael Schenker foi convidado para preencher uma vaga como guitarrista na banda UFO, aceitando. Com a saída temporária de Schenker resultou na dissolução da banda, mas Rudolf Schenker e Klaus Meine em última análise, resolveram mais tarde se fundir com a banda Dawn Road. A formação consistia em: Ulrich Roth (guitarra) preenchendo a vaga de Michael, Jürgen Rosenthal (bateria) e Francis Buchholz (baixo). A nova formação retomou sob o nome de Scorpions e gravou Fly to the Rainbow. O álbum alcançou a #83 posição na paradas do Japão.

Life is empty, can't remember any time before

On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore

Gliding through this life and another as a child

Ever doing games and losing things, always playing gigs

Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright

Where the sun is shining in the night

I am in disgrace, yet I see your smiling face

And I hope you let me share your place

I don't live today

Rain in the sky made the world fly

Into time, back beyond time

Sun in the sky made the world fly

Into time, back beyond time

Rain in the sky made the world fly

Into time, back beyond time

Sun in the sky made the world fly

Into time, back beyond time

Rain in the sky made the world fly

Into time, back beyond time

Sun in the sky made the world fly

Into time, back beyond time

Well, I lived in magic solitude

Of cloudy looking mountains

And a lake made out of crystal raindrops

Roaming through space

Two thousand years ago

I've seen the giant city of Atlantis

Sinking into eternal wave of darkness

Somewhere in the blue distance

Are those long forgotten trees of yore

A broken violin floatin' alone in December

Darkness everywhere and nothing more

Symbol, strange symbol, melancholy

Painting torrid colors on a sky of green

Candle breathing one night only

Far away, in chillness, bleak, unseen

Drifting galley, ghostlike shadow

Sails rigged to catch and kill the time

Echoes wandering down an endless meadow

I feel sublime.
