Dio - 'Holy Diver' (official audio)

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! Yeah

Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you... Look out!
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, yeah
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel! Say:

Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump, jump... Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen! Yeah

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh, what's becoming of me? No, no!
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, get away
Gotta get away, get away, yeah
Holy Diver...

Το φθινόπωρο του 1982 ο Ronnie James Dio (10 Ιουλίου 1942 - 16 Μαΐου 2010) αποχώρησε από τους Black Sabbath για να ξεκινήσει προσωπική καριέρα. (Το πως και το γιατί επήλθε το "διαζύγιο" είναι -υποθέτω- γνωστό.) Μαζί του ο drummer Vinny Appice, ο μπασίστας Jimmy Bain (R.I.P. 2016) και ο κιθαρίστας Jake E. Lee, ο οποίος -μετά από έναν μήνα- αντικαταστάθηκε από τον Vivian Campbell. Τον Μάιο του 1983 κυκλοφόρησε το ντεμπούτο της νεοσύστατης μπάντας υπό τον τίτλο "Holy Diver" και τα υπόλοιπα είναι (heavy metal) ιστορία...
