Has anybody wrote a better heavy metal song in the 40+ years of the genre's history? Is is Holy Diver? Is it Heaven and Hell? It's definitely composed and performed by Ronnie James Dio (RIP). He was the ultimate heavy metal frontman and I was lucky enough to watch him perform live! Holy Diver is one of his best songs ever, one of the best songs of the entire genre! A must for everybody that loves metal music. I refuse to review this song...
Composer: Dio }{ Year: 1983
Lyrics:
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
