DIO - Jesus, Mary & the holy Ghost

Prime time
Nursery rhyme
Did you see the teacher
Sister
Black and white
What she's gonna to do

They say eye for eye, tooth for tooth
But don't hurt your brother
Cross-road, overload

Oh, I, I testify
They just showed me Mary
She was stoned, stoned, danger zone
There was nothing in her eyes

And then there, there in the air
Nailed to the cross was Jesus
Cross-road, overload

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray my soul to keep away
From the holy spirit, holy ghost
They're hiding in the dark

Oh, nightmare, electric chair
You might not get to heaven
Bad boys, shout for joy
Watch him to cry

Prime time
Nursery rhyme
Love just needs religion
Cross-road, overload

I don't like his interpretations of the old songs, but on this album, Tracy G and Dio created something so angry, so heavy, so dark that most fans couldn't handle it.I could not either.

But now, I've gotten used to it and this song will always be in my TOP 3 Dio songs.

Yes, Strange Highways, Dehumanizer & Angry Machines are something different and special to the other albums. No fantasy lyrics, but the truth of a fucking planet.

@praetorianus72 Sorry, I was off on one when I said that. I was thinking of Christmas, not Dio.

[praetorianus72]

@wandererlain You're certainly talking about "Sol Invictus" of the "Saturnalia" a roman rite. Is Dio talking about Sol Invictus in this song ? Why is there a picture in the vid. I don't understand.

[mikemyers20091]

the heavy riffs at the start sure give me the scares man , damn did DIO make any songs for any Horror movies like for Sountracks would have been great if more bands does that man

BEST FUCKING LYRICS EVER

1:45 They were worshipping THE SUN in late December, which is a Pagan rite.

The intro of this song reminds me of 21st Century Schizoid Man. Heavvvvy, man.

Last in line and holy diver were two of the rawest, purest metal albums ever. Straight through the heart IS metal. I liked this album too, but it's not viv on the lead so it's a half step down.

I hated this album when I first heard it...mind you, it was my first Dio album. The Magica-era got me to give Dio another try. Like many of you, it took me a while to get into Strange Highways but once I heard Black Sabbath's 'Dehumanizer' I understood where this album was coming from. Tracey G should've stayed on as Rhythm Guitarist though. Good song-writer, but his solos during other people's songs really hindered the band.

I really liked this era of Dio (Strange Highways, Angry Machines, Dehumanizer) I think it is underrated!

[praetorianus72]

I was first astonished when I heard strange highways for the 1st time, very doom, but now it's one of my favorite Dio's album with Lock up the wolves (very special too)

@MrRafaelBCK

Probably so, yes.I actually think this is his best album, I love the classics, but I hate the sound on those albums...the guitar sounds thin and the drums...urgh.
