Dio Lyrics Sunday!

Heaven And Hell
Black Sabbath

Sing me a song, you're a singer
do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
the less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
the sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell, fool, fool!

Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
for every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
and it's on and on, on and on and on....

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
you get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no!
Fool, fool!
You've got to bleed for the dancer!
Fool, fool!
Look for the answer!
Fool, fool, fool!

Hot...and...hungry!
How do we escape?
Hot...and...hungry!
I need a nice canapé!

The ladies of the sky are needed!
The ladies of the sky, we're pleadin'!
Come and soar, like never before,
Beware the manticore!

(Spoken) The animals are dead,
No more needs be said.
(Sung) But, now you collect all the gold.
The truth must be told!

There's a truth that's hard as steel. Yeah!
The vision never dies.
Life's a never ending wheel! Say!

No need to look so afraid. Jump! Jump!

Dio Lyrics Sunday!

Stand Up And Shout
Dio

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

Dio Lyrics Sunday!

Like The Beat Of The Heart
Dio

Tonight we run
We can hide in the dark
When the moon steals the light from the dying sun
Oh run
It's a better thing than we have ever done
There's a beast that lives inside you
And it's screaming to get out
Like the beat of a heart
Don't look behind
Cause a tear that never dies
Can only make you blind
You've got to try
Cause the future's never never gonna die
There's a beast that lives inside you
And it's screaming to get out
It's a storm that's never ending
It's a truth without a doubt
Tonight we run
We can hide in the dark
Till the moon steals the light from the sun
There's a beast that lives inside you
And it's screaming let me out
It's a storm that's never ending
It's a truth without a doubt
Love can be a whisper
But pain will always
Shout to you
Like the beat of a heart
Like the beat of a heart
Like the beat of a heart
Like the beat of a heart

Dio Lyrics Sunday!

This one speaks for itself*

Rainbow In The Dark
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

Dio Lyrics Sunday!: Special Edition

Why 'Special Edition'? Because, this week instead of lyrics BY Dio, we're presenting lyrics ABOUT Dio! That's right it's

Dio
Tenacious D

Dio has rocked (rocked) for a long, long time.
But, now it's time for him to pass the torch!
He has songs of wildebeests and angels;
He has soared on the wings of demon!

It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock,
No more rockin' for you!
We're takin' you to a home,
But, we will sing a song about you!

And, we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. RAOW!

Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash, baby!
Dio, time to go!
You will pass your cape and scepter TO ME!
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

Some News Links-Dio Style!

We know we don't have the poetry of Dio quite down yet, but we're working on it! (Needs more chimeras, right?)

You...are...a hypocrite!
You...lie...in the sky,
Above crimson tides!
Rock on!

Holy classes,
Don't belong in public schools!
Holy classes,
Stubborn as mules!

Hidden among the elms
An unheard tale
Of bushes giving in!
Hope they'll do it again!

Dio Lyrics Sunday!

Notice the fantastic imagery and how, within just the first verse, Dio has connected three completely random concepts! The mind boggles!

Lock Up The Wolves
Dio

In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world

There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world
Turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves,...

Don't you let'em get away
Lock up the wolves before you play
Or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let'em get away
Don't you let'em get away

There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell, oh
In this corner of the world

Now if you turn your back on the children
Don't you feel it getting colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves,...

Dio Lyrics Sunday!

We here at SUPERMEGADIO!!!!! feel the need to impart some of Dio's beautiful lyrics to the masses. You won't, of course, get the full effect without him singing the lyrics himself, but at least you'll get some of the poetry.

The Last In Line
DIO

We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away

Chorus:
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad

We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain

Chorus

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way you go is down

Chorus
