Song lyrics (Dio, Goldy):

There's perfect harmony
In the rising and the falling of the sea
And as we sail along
I never fail to be astounded by
The things we'll do for promises
And a song

We are the innocent
We are the damned
We were caught in the middle of the madness
Hunted by the lion and the lamb
Ooh - Ooh

We bring you fantasy
We bring you pain
It's your one great chance for a miracle
Or we will disappear
Never to be seen again

And all the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
Sailed away

We bring you beautiful
We teach you sin
We can give you a piece of the universe
Or we will disappear
Never to return again

And all the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
They sailed away
Sailed away

And as we drift along
I never fail to be astounded
By the things we'll do for promises
And a song

We are the innocent
We cut we bleed
We're your one great chance for a miracle
And a miracle is something you need

They'll take your diamonds
And then give you steel
You'll be caught in the middle of the madness
Just lost like them
And part of all the pain that they feel, yeah

And all the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
Leaving nothing, nothing more to say
All the fools sailed away

They say you're beautiful
And they'll always let you in
But doors are never open
To the child without a trace of sin

Sail away

Αθάνατος..!

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

Ronnie James Dio was very often (and rightfully so) recognized as one of the greatest metal vocalist in the world. I used to favored Rob Halford more but recently my view have changed and I will have to say that I think Ronnie James Dio was the best metal vocalist in the world. But what have been often ignored was due rightful recognition of his amazing talent as a vocalist was that Ronnie James Dio was one of the outstanding and poetic lyricist in the metal world. We miss you Dio. RIP.

@ispeakincolour wow! True what youre saying? u knew Ronnie?

[banished8910]

I freakin´ love to draw while listening to these songs, bring such inspiration . . .

[ispeakincolour]

Ronnie was not only the best vocalist in hard rock and metal,he also was a college educated extremely intelligent human being..He was an absolute monster lyricist and worked every day

on being an all around artist and producer..I had the joy of being his confidant for 30 years and I was blessed..He was kind and always positive but a perfectionist when it came to his music..I miss him dearly and I am just now able to listen to him again..R.I.P. My brother..

If you listen to the vocal of Dio's "We Rock" and intro of "Don't Talk To Strangers", it's difficult to believe that they are all by same vocalist. That's the dynamic of Dio's vocal unequal to most of metal vocalists. I was at the Halford concert(not Judas Priest but Rob's solo band) where he opened for Iron Maiden. I arrived there little late and Halford was already playing. I can hear his voice all the way out in the parking lots and recognized his voice. AMAZING.

@unorthodoxtrotsky

Yeah, in the end the top metal vocalists are hard to compare. They sing with different styles and often very different types of songs.

For me, Dio was always the more melodic vocalist, while other top metal singers sometimes had more power and/or range.

But anyway, no comparison is necessary, they are all great. I just wanted to say how amazed I was with Halford since I saw you were a big fan :)

@alin1975

I've favored Rob over Dio most of my life as a fan and it was only recently that my view changed more toward Dio without EVER denying the greatness of Rob Halford. If you think Halford is great in live today, he was WAY BETTER back in the 70's and 80's as was with Dio. Unfortunately, I think neither are as good as they were during their prime but nonetheless, they are still the legends. Halford's vocal is quintessential Heavy Metal vocal while Dio have greater dynamics.

@unorthodoxtrotsky

You know, I had never seen Priest live until recently (since they were never quite at the top of my list)... but I have to say, after catching their goodbye tour... holy crap. I have never, ever seen a vocalist do live what Halford did. He was so powerful, and never hit a note wrong the whole night.

My favs will always be Bruce and Dio, but I have never seen either perform live anywhere close to what I saw Halford do. No disrespect intended.

@unorthodoxtrotsky Yes, at Donnington he was incredible as always. I'm not an expert in singing but all I know is that he sounds good to my ears

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@praetorianus72

:)))) I thought that was your stand but I just wanted to make sure. :) One of the major reason why I put Dio above Halford is due to his vocal skills but also from my numerous experiences of listening to him live. The way he carry on his vocal from song after song and his ability diversify his feelings are just amazing. Have you ever heard "At Donington UK Live 1983 & 1987"? JUST AMAZING!!!!!
