Fly to the Rainbow is the second studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released in 1974.
Background
In support of their Lonesome Crow album, Scorpions appeared as the opening act for the British rock band UFO. At the end of the tour, Scorpions lead guitarist Michael Schenker was asked to fill an open position as UFO's guitarist and accepted the role. Schenker's departure temporarily resulted in the breakup of the band but Rudolf Schenker and later Klaus Meine ultimately merged with the band Dawn Road which consisted of guitarist Ulrich Roth filling Michael's role, as well as drummer Jürgen Rosenthal, and bass guitarist Francis Buchholz. The new line up resumed under the Scorpions name and recorded Fly to the Rainbow.
Three songs were co-written with departing guitarist Michael Schenker as part of an agreement with the Scorpions for leaving them and joining UFO in April of that year.
Cover artwork
When asked to comment on the cover art to the album, the band's former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth said "Don’t ask me what that cover means… I disliked it from the beginning. It looked ludicrous to me back then and looks just as bad today. It was done by a firm of designers in Hamburg, who had actually done a good job on the Lonesome Crow album before, but I think that time they failed miserably. As for the meaning, I can only guess, but I’d rather not…"

Their gem.. That put them on the map of Rock Eternity.
LYRICS:
(Life is empty, can't remember anytime before
On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore
Gliding through this life, and another as a child
And we're 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 a smiling face
And I hope you let me, share your place
I don't live today..)
Rain in the sky, make the world fly
Into time, back beyond time
Sun in the sky, make the world fly
Into time, back beyond time
Rain in the sky, make the world fly
Into time, back beyond time..
Sun in the sky, make the world fly..
Into time, back beyond time..
"I lived in magic solitude
Of cloudy-looking mountains
And a lak...

"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 waves of darkness, shhh..
Somewhere in the blue distance
Are those long-forgotten trees of yore..
A broken violin floating alone in December
Darkness everywhere and nothing more
Symbols, strange symbol, melancholy
Painting torrid colors to 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
To call the thing, SUBLIME..
Their gem.. That put them on the map of Rock Eternity.
