The Ghost of Ronnie Dio Lyrics

The ghost of Dio comes to our practice space every midnight
& with his help, a tasty jam, is what we're sure to write
I hope he helps us write something like 'I' or 'Holy Diver'
With amplified technology his words we'll decipher

But after all what do you say to the dead king warlock of rock n' roll?
Look for the sign - the last in line - the words that will reveal you to your soul.

A sage, or mage, of ancient age who died a little too young
Of dragons, & devils, & ancient beasts he primarily sung
To say his ghost is haunting us seems frightfully absurd
I'd demonstrate some actual proof, but lonely is the word

Through rainbow eyes, the wizard flies to legions of the brave to save again the chosen ones, the bastard sons. The mob rules to follow the tears away

Look away from the sea, those evil eyes staring at you & me
This is surely a sign they'll burn the sun and drown the children at sea
if you truly have a spark, don't lock it all up or you're just a rainbow in the dark

Every time I climb upon a mountain I see the silver lighting in the black
Those who shine won't be borne to heaven
Those facing hell better turn back

Over & over again
