Thanks for the list!

Gotta be more than that! I can think of one for sure;

"Starz" - "And we all want to touch a rainbow"

Ah, yes. Stars.

You're right - that's one I forgot about.

In case you never noticed, Dio had a fascination with wheels as well. Being "chained to the wheel" or "the wheel is thrown to the ground" etc...

He's a wheel that can roll and feel...

He's like a wheel about to bowl you over.

Holy Diver - "Life's a never ending wheel"

Stand Up and Shout - "You've been nailed to the wheel"

Push - "You can turn the wheel, push"

Walk on Walter - "Till they strapped him to the wheel"

I'm street walking!

Rainbow, wheel, dark, evil, night, holy, hell, heart, street, dream, eyes, magic, heaven, and a few more....rearrange and add a few words in between that loosely connect, and bam!, a Dio song is born.

or just string together random descriptive phrases that make absolutely no sense....

"If the 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 (Dio does D&D)
and it's likely you might find the answer there."

Huh????

Yeah he did have some strange lyrics but those songs were great to listen to. Isn't there some kind of Dio lyric generator out there on the net ?

It only does single lines, but you could put something together, like

"There is no rainbow between the magic demons
Face the witch of the velvet lightning
Face the wind of the silver spell
There is no mountain of the holy dark, WATCH OUT!"

And naturally, there are some songs with rainbows and wheels.

Catch the Rainbow - "But life's not a wheel, with chains made of steel"

Wishing Well - "Roll me, I'm a never ending wheel"

Sacred Heart - "Oh running into nowhere turning like a wheel"

I always chuckled at the way he would quote the lyrics to Heaven and Hell whenever interviewed about religion. It's like he already had his boilerplate set up in that song.

"We need you to do this w/a lot of love and support, just three words, here's the example; on and on, on and on it's heaven and hell..."

Sorry Ronnie, but we didn't quite get that, could ya do it again!
