Craig Goldy [Dio]

One night when the stars were right
For the gypsy queen
And she found she could drog you down
To a place that's in between it all
She's a madman with a delicate hand
And evil eyes
And I've heard she'll only say a word
But that's enough to satisfy

Don't ask why
Don't even think about it
Brave men die
But what a way to go

She's not above
Death by love

One spell from the wishing well
And you're nevermore
A bad start for the sacred heart
'Cause the end has come before the beginning
Knee deep in the darkest sleep
But the eyes see all
So high you could break the sky
And never feel the fall to come

Strong men die
But what a way to go

She's not above
Death by love

Don't ask why
Don't even think about it
Brave men die
But what a way to go

You've got symptoms of
Death by love
She's not above
Death by love

Don't ask why
Don't even guess about it
All men die
But this is death by love

I think I'm through with just pretending
Knocking at a door, that I've been through before
Congratulations, at last you've seen my light
Now it's you against the night

I think I'm never coming after, after all

Now I've become the cat
Who always lets you know that

I am, I am stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am stronger without you
I am

For all the words gone unspoken
Silence isn't gold, or the story's never told
Investigation, at last I've found my light
And we shine

So now I'm like the cat
Who always tells you this that

I am, I am stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am better without you
I am

I think I'm way outside illusion
Breaking down the door, that locked me in before
Congratulations, now that you've see my light
After all

And when I become the cat
I'll always let you know that

I am, I am stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am stronger without you
I am

I am, I am brighter than the sun
I am, I am everyone
I am, I am better without you
I am

I am, I am stronger than before
I am, I am more
I am, I am ready to go on
I am

Help me, save me
I've just crossed the line where reason might betray me
Wake me, oh shake me
Send a message to my brain before they take me

How can I get through to you
That wishes just come true
In dreams

Oh don't go, no, don't dare
'Cause the journey drives you mad before you get there
Help me, oh save me
I'll be glad to give you back the hand you gave me

How I can get through to you
That wishes do come true
In dreams
In your dreams

If I'm a river then you're the sea
Somewhere you'll find me alone and swimming here in the ecstasy
If I am silence you must be scream
But I can't hear you, I'm in a place that you've just never seen before

No, don't go, you'll never save me
I've just slapped away that helping hand you gave me
Don't wake me, no, don't you shake me
Here's a message from my brain, you'll never take me

How can I get through to you
That wishes do come true
In dreams
In my dreams

And then you dream
Of a world with only windows
Inside you, you can hide you
You know

And then the night
You're just another empty shadow
No questions, no answers
No one to scream at you

Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone you know
Hey, you, you're just master of the moon

And then the eyes
If you look at them they'll blind you
Who are you? What are you?
Why do you scream at me?

Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone you know
Hey, you, you're just master of the moon

We can shake you, make you over
We just need some time
To shed some light upon your darkness
We need your mind

And then you dream again
In a world that only you know
Inside you, you can hide you
No one to scream at you

Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone you know
Oh turn away and never face the sun
You'll never make me be like you
I'm master of the moon

I've never been here before
But I'm coming back tomorrow
For the real pain, a cold rain again
Nice day for a crucifixion
Heard a new prediction
That we can all be saved, so I'll have

One more for the road, play it again
One more for the road

Never heard this before
That a child can tell who's evil
But it's a good thing if we sing along
Cold day, we can make a fire
Burn another liar
Can witches ever die, hey, let's burn

One more for the road, give me the same again
One more for the road

Well I've never been here before
And the room is really empty
But there's a big line waiting for the show
Nice day for an execution
Another wrong conclusion
But someone's got to pay, so let's burn

One more for the road, play it again
One more for the road

There's a child who just sees evil
And a man who just loves pain
But I've heard that we can't save them
So give me the same again
There's a cross that you can't carry
'Cause it's heavier than hell
And if you should meet your maker
Just pray that he won't yell

One more for the road
One more for the road
One more for the road, play it again

Fingers scratching blackboards make cowards of the brave
A natural reaction from the cradle to the grave
Rats and bats and spiders and little things that crawl
Never made me tremble, I'm not bothered, not at all

Then I saw you
Something new inside of me
But what's this shaking?
You made me shiver, shiver

Cemetery midnights, walking on the dead
Never seemed to matter, it's all inside your head
Names are only letters mentioned on a stone
And if you're going somewhere you're going it alone

Then I saw you
Something new inside of me
Felt this shaking
You gave me shivers

Magic charms and voodoo and all those other spells
Never made impressions and I never slept so well
If I had a nightmare, I'm sure that I would know
I really don't remember, but I'm sure it isn't so

Then I saw you
Something new inside of me
What's this shaking?

Turn out the light it won't matter
A bucket of blood, I'm still fine
A black cat's only a colour
But you can do it every time
time time time time...
time time time time.

Oh no, they're at it again, looking inside my secrets
Coming through cracks before I mend the wall
Get out 'cause you're breaking the law, how did you ever find me?
Places where I can hide can't get much smaller

I have invisible dreams where no one can touch me
Maybe I'll find a way to disappear

No one moves and no one dies
Just the eyes

I've run as fast as I can thinking they'll never catch me
What a waste of breath, a waste of time
Feel like digging a hole, going in even deeper
Maybe they just can't see what just can't shine

I'll be lost so no goodbyes
If no one moves then nothing dies
Just the eyes

Oh no, they've done it again, sending out the detectives
Searching for signs of life and that means me
In my invisible dreams when no one is watching
I'd make the whole world blind and I'd be free

I'll be lost so no replies
If no one looks then no one dies
Just the eyes
Those eyes

Magic numbers, even sacrifice
I can't find a way 'cause nothing stops the eyes

Bless me, father, I must go away
To save us from the one's who don't believe
Confess me, father, I have sinned
But maybe angels really sing
Fot the man who would be king

We laugh at your religion
You people of the sand
We have no superstition
You can read it in our hands

Forgive me, father, for the change we bring
But it's all for the man who would be king

Don't leave a body standing
Not the holy, not the small
Deliver us from evil
If it's yours we want it all

Lately, father, I've been wondering
Is the devil just the man who would be king

How can right be ever wrong?
We are glory, we are stronger than you

We never got an answer
It's just too late to ask
The bloody flag was waving
Our hearts just ran too fast

Curse me, father, for the chains we bring
And don't believe the man who would be king

We never got an answer
The question slipped my mind
I've been so busy killing
I haven't found the time
