Dragons of the Rainbow Pride Song
An original euphoric Pride festival anthem celebrating colour, visibility, freedom, and joy.
This song began as a playful idea: rainbow dragons flying over a Pride celebration. But through many rewrites, it became something more heartfelt. Each colour in the lyric was given its own image and emotional place, turning the song into a celebration of identity, inclusion, and the right to be seen.
At the heart of the song are the lines:
No colour is hidden
No heart has to hide
Musically, the track was shaped as a euphoric festival anthem, with huge sidechained supersaw leads, punchy four-on-the-floor drums, live toms, claps, rising snare builds, anthemic brass stabs, soaring vocal hooks, wide gang chants, bright synth arps, and big reverb-drenched drops.
The cover art continues the same idea: a stained-glass rainbow dragon rising over a Pride-inspired festival landscape. The dragon represents many colours held together as one living, shining form.

Dragons of the Rainbow
Original Lyric by Mark van Jaarsveld
Dragons of the Rainbow
[INTRO]
They shimmer, they thunder
They glitter, they glide
No colour is hidden
No heart has to hide
Rise, rise, rise, set my colours free
Rise, rise, rise, let the whole world see
[Verse 1]
Dragons of the Rainbow
Waking where the morning catches fire
Red, is the beat of their burning hearts
Orange, is the spark that climbs higher
Yellow, is the laugh in the sunlight
Green, is running wild through the trees
Blue, is wide and open like the endless sky
Calling every soul to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
They shimmer, they thunder
They glitter, they glide
No colour is hidden
No heart has to hide
[Chorus]
Dragons of the Rainbow
Fly over me
Dragons of the Rainbow
Set my colours free
[Post-Chorus]
Fly, fly, fly over me
Rise, rise, rise set my colours free
Fly, fly, fly, dragons of the rainbow
Rise, rise, rise let the whole world see
Dragons of the Rainbow
[Verse 2]
Violet, dreams in the twilight
Black, holds the stars in its wings
Brown, is the earth that carries us home
White, is the peace that morning brings
Pink, blooms soft in the firelight
Azure, breaks over the sea
Every scale tells a story of pride
Every flame says: let me be me!
[Pre-Chorus]
They shimmer, they thunder
They glitter, they glide
No colour is hidden
No heart has to hide
[Chorus]
Dragons of the Rainbow
Fly over me
Dragons of the Rainbow
Set my colours free
Dragons of the Rainbow
[Bridge]
One by one, they circle low
Then rise, then rise
Writing joy in firelight
Across the open skies
No one left in silence
No one pushed aside
Every flame is welcome
Every wing has pride
[Outro]
Dragons of the Rainbow
Fly, fly, fly over me
Rise, rise, rise set my colours free
Fly, fly, fly dragons of the rainbow
Rise, rise, rise Let the whole world see!
No one left in silence
No one pushed aside
Every one is welcome
Every color has pride
Dragons of the Rainbow
