Lyrics:

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?
Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?

Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
Hey, I believe, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go

All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face!

Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed

In heat and rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly

But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly

Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look,
Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still
He gave back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh

Take me back
He gave me back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Going home
I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh

Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh

[Tjalfi999]

This song makes me think about Saruman.

[piedpiperpied]

I came



[Jak3Mac]

Sounds so autotuned.

[seanthecadaver]

sick. damn, that artwork is brutal.

[lmegadeath047l]

wow this is a pretty good cover

[djnorge]

@larawora Even though I mentioned lucana coil, that doesn't mean i like LC. Amongst Rock, I listen and like Dio and Black Sabbath way more than LC. But I like Old School (death) Metal the most :P

@blackspiraldancer6 It's my personal belief that a band covering a song should do their best to make their rendition just as awesome as the original. Take Primal Fear's cover of Die Young. They went above and beyond when they made it. they could've just played off the tablature, but did they? fuck no, they wrote entirely new solos, had a dual guitar opening and a tornada that sent chills up my god damned spine. not to mention the halford-like vocals which can kill small dogs.

[blackspiraldancer6]

@hydrall9 yes but who isnt inferior to dio's vocals?

[larawora]

@djnorge

LUCANA COIL FUCKING SUCKS!!!!

LISTEN TO REAL BANDS LIKE DIO RAINBOW AND BLACK SABBATH!!!!

[hydrall9]

Musically, this song isn't very different from the original. what I dislike most about it is the vocalist's pretty bland performance. Don't get me wrong, he's freaking awesome on Tyr's other songs, but comparing this song to the original highlights how inferior he is to Ronnie's vocal work on this song. Heri's style is more syllabic, making him sound bored in comparison to Dio's wild and unpredictable voice.

[Yinzerchik]

sweet!

Thank you for putting lyrics on all the songs from the album
