It's the same old song
You've gotta be somewhere at sometime They never let you fly It's like broken glass You get cut before you see it So open up your eyes You've got desire So let it out You've got the fire Stand up and shout-shout You've got wings of steel But they never really move you You only seem to crawl You've been nailed to the wheel But never really turning You know you've got to want it all You've got desire So let it out You've got the fire Stand up and shout You are the strongest chain And not just some reflection So never hide again You are the driver You own the road You are the fire go on explode You've got desire So let it out You've got the power Stand up and shout 02. Holy Diver Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what's becoming of me Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Gotta get away Holy Diver Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh we will pray it's all right Gotta get away-get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen 03. Gypsy Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell Cause you were blinded by her light She could crack your brain With magic pain And turn a paler shade of white (Well) I was on the free Just me and me And just about to sail When I heard the voice Said you got a choice The hammer or the nail You'll be ridin' You'll be ridin' on the gypsy Well I rolled the bones To see who'd own My mind and what's within And it's a given rule That we're all fools And need to have a little sin So I'm ridin' I've been ridin' on the gypsy On the gypsy queen She was straight from Hell But you never could tell Cause you were blinded by the light So she cracked my brain With magic pain And turned my left around to right, right So I'm ridin' Yes I'm ridin' I'm still ridin' on the gypsy On the gypsy queen 04. Caught In The Middle Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don't know Maybe it's just what you need Letting the river in you flow You can sail away to the sun And let it burn you while you can Or walk a long bloody road Like the hero who never ran You'll feel it You'll feel it You'll feel the rush of it all Flying away int the clouds You know you're loosing your control Finding you way in the dark Like some poor forgotten soul You'll feel it You'll see it You'll feel the rush of the city lights You'll feel it I see it in your eyes, you're Caught in the middle Just like the way you've always been Caught in the middle Helpless again Looking inside of yourself You might see someone you don't know Maybe it's just what you need Letting the river I know that's in you flow You'll feel it You'll see it You'll feel the rush of thunder You'll feel it I see it in your eyes, you're Caught in the middle Just like the way you've always been Caught in the middle Helpless again 05. Don't Talk To Strangers Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Don't talk to strangers
Mmmmh Don't talk to strangers 'Cause they're only there to do you harm Don't write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don't hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul Don't go to heaven 'Cause it's really only hell Don't smell the flowers They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind Don't dream of women 'Cause they only bring you down Hey you, you know me, you've touched me, I'm real I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and Feel me I'm danger - I'm the stranger And I, I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain I am master The evil song you sing inside your brain Drive you insane Don't talk Don't let them inside your mind, yeah Run away, run away, go! No - no Don't let them in your mind Protect your soul Don't dance in darkness You may stumble and you're sure to fall Don't write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don't talk to strangers [Don't talk to strangers] 'Cause they're only there to make you sad Don't dream of women 'Cause they'll only bring you down Yeah Run, run, run, run away! 06. Straight Through The Heart Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Hanging from the cobwebs in you mind
It looks like a long, long way to fall No one ever told me life was kind I guess I never heard it, never heard it all Living in a world of make believe I can hide behind what's real But wearing your emotions on your sleeve And they all know what you feel And here it comes again Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Oh, never tell a secret with your eyes It's the eyes that let you down Tell a little truth with many lies It's the only way I've found Oh here it comes again Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Shout to the wind How can you hurt me this way Oh once it begins It looks like it's coming to stay Hanging from the cobwebs in your mind It looks like a long, long way to fall No one ever told me life was kind I Guess I never heard it, never heard it all, no! But here it comes again Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Here it comes again Straight through the heart In the middle of the heart Now don't stand still, they'll get you Right through your heart And here it comes, here it comes again Straight through the heart 07. Invisible Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
If your circle stays unbroken
Then you're a lucky man Cause it never, never, never has for me In the palace of the virgin Lies the chalice of the soul And it's likely you might find the answer there She had fourteen years of teenage tears And never a helping hand She had fourteen more of rain before She saw the sight of land She was a photograph just ripped in half A smile inside a frown And the the light, the answer right Inside her coming down I can go away I can leave here I can be invisible He was just eighteen and in-between A lady and a man His daddie's girl in momma's world And that was when he ran You know the word confused has been abused But that's just what he was And then the spark inside the dark The answer came because it said You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick Of life upon a stage So I bought the book and took a fast look At just the very last page It was a single word that I'd just heard From the two that came before The only way to realle stay Is to walk right out the door You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible You can go away Lord you know it's right to leave here So I just become invisible 08. Rainbow In The Dark Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light But it was cold - I lost my hold To the shadows of the night There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark Do your demons - do they ever let you go When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside Is it someone that you know You're a picture - just an image caught in time We're a lie - you and I We're words without a rhyme There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark When there's lightning - it always brings me down Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air But it's fear - and you'll hear It calling you beware There's no sign of the morning coming There's no sight of the day You've been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark 09. Shame On The Night Music & lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Shame on the night
For places I've been And what I've seen For giving me the strangest dreams But you never really know just what they mean So oh shame on the night Shame on you You've stolen the day Snatched it away But I saw the sky An I never want to die Now you know the reason why Oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done So I think I'd better run Shame on the sun For the light you sold I've lost my hold On the magic flame But now I know your name Oh lord just go the way you came again Oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done So I know I'd better run Repeat verse 1 You don't care what you've done Here I go I've got to run |
