everlasting now secret lyrics

I have posted on this before, so this is an update for anyone who cares.

In 'The Everlasting Now', if you listen carefully you can hear the 'Darth Vader' voice saying something underneath the chanting of 'We want Prince'. But what is that voice saying?

I threw this out as a challenge to any recording engineers who were reading it. Anyway, I got some software and played around with the balance myself until I could hear the voice better, and it's definitely (IMHO) saying "[some .. thing] the rainbow children'. My best guess is he's saying "wait for the rainbow children". Perhaps there's a comma in there: "wait for the rainbow, children".

Anyone got any better ideas?

Yeah, I think I know the bit you're talking about. I've never been able to work it out either confused

is it the bit about

all the players' ice melted into one platinum chain
and in a downward spiral it dripped down the drain.

It fades up in the middle of the statement and is just a lift from the opening line "A New Nation - The Rainbow Children".
