Dio: Live in London - Hammersmith Apollo 1993 (2014) - full transcript

Medley ?The Last in Line?

?Straight Through the Heart?

?Stand Up and Shout?

It's the same old song

You gotta be somewhere at sometime

And they'll never let you fly

It's like broken glass

You get cut before you see it

So open up your eyes

You've got desire

So let it out



You've got the power

Stand up and shout

You got wings of steel

but they never really move you

You only seem to crawl

You've been nailed to the wheel

but never really turning

You know you've got to

work it out

You've got desire

So let it out

You've got the power

You are the strongest chain

And you're not just some reflection



So never hide again

But you are the driver

You own the road

You are the fire

Go on, explode

You've got desire

So let it out

You've got the power

?Strange Highways?

I, I,

good for nothing

going nowhere

So they say

Someone, give me blessings

For they say that I have sinned

That when I crawl inside myself

and ride into the wind

On strange highways

Hey you

I want your number

Don't you even wonder

We do things our way here

Questions

These are forbidden

We got no answers

Believe us anyway

So here is my confession:

It's the only broken rule

Sometimes I crawl inside of me

Where I can be the fool

On strange highways

You can see the other side

and you shall cross over

You can't leave the other side

If you say I will

I will

Everytime I climb the mountain

And it turned into a hill

Well I promised me

I'd disappear

And now I know I will

So someone give me blessings

for the times they say I've sinned

So I can crawl inside of me

and ride into the wind

On strange highways

Questions

They're forbidden

'Cause we've got no answers

Don't you even wonder

Hey you, what's your number?

Alright, we have a lot of music to play
tonight so we'll get right at it.

A lot of things you'd like to hear from the past,
we'd like to do these for you.

From the Holy Diver LP, it's called

?Don't Talk to Strangers?

Don't talk to strangers

'Cause they're only there

to do you harm

Don't write in starlight

For the words may come out real

Don't hide in doorways

You may find the key

that opens up your soul

Don't go to heaven

'Cause it's really only hell

Don't smell the flowers

They have an evil drug

and it'll make you lose your mind

Don't dream of women

'Cause they'll only bring you

down

Hey you

You know me

You touch me

I'm real

And I'm forever

The one that lets you

look and see

You can feel me

'Cause I'm danger

I'm stranger

And I, I'm darkness

I'm anger

I'm pain

I, I'm master

The evil song you sing inside your brain

Drive you insane

Don't talk, no

Don't let them inside your mind, no

Run away, run away, go

Don't let them in your mind

Protect your soul

Don't dance in darkness

You may stumble and you're sure to fall

Don't you ever write in starlight

No, every word you say may be real

'Cause they're only there

to make you sad

Don't dream of women

'Cause they'll only bring you

Run, run, run, run away

Don't you talk, no

You guys are great! Thank you so much!

We should like to do another track for you

as we already have one anyway,
from the newest album by us,
from the Strange Highways album.

This one,

strange song, this,
like the strange album, it's called

?Evilution?

Voil?.

Good night

We're closing again

Come back

We're open tomorrow

We've finished today

I'm just staying away

We know what's good for your brain

It's plastic dreams and fast machines

Pushing it to the limit

Girls and boys who think the noise

is music in the air

Twisted felon, stay awhile

Here's your invitation

Dirty rags and body bags

Hello

We're open once more

Come in

You need no appointment

We're thinking in time

That you'll move down the line

And represent the business in hell

Well

Tell her hope is gone but you carry on

We can set the soul free

All is lost, so what's it cost

to listen anyway?

The world upstairs where no-one cares

is just about to crumble

See it through
We'll burn for you

Evolution Company

And I know your number, 12

Look around

It's coming again

Twelve

And just twelve

Smiles

Evilution time

It's here

Sit

Neon names play neon games

Showing it to the public

I hate you and you hate me

And everybody smiles

Money talks and no-one walks

But everybody's crawling

Golden rags and body bags

All night

It's me

Good night

I'm open again

Come back

Come in

Good bye

We're closed

Say Evilution

From the Strange Highways LP.

We should like to do another

of the same, not the same song,

but from that same LP.

From ?Strange Highways?,

one super little title says it all,

?Pain?

this one.

Give me a choice between pleasure and pain

I choose

Another day without a heartbeat

How does your heart beat

if they've taken it away?

For the first time

just don't think about it

Take the water and wash your face with pain

You can take away the power

Your finest hour -

It's when you laugh in their faces

For the first time

just forget about it

Take a hammer and pound yourself with pain

The way I feel alone

Bury my bones on the moon

If they never should find me

it would be too soon

Give me a choice between power and pain

I choose pain

Bury my bones on the moon

If they never should find me

it would be too soon

For the first time

just don't think about it

Take the water and wash your face with pain

Just forget about the pain

No, never think about the pain
(I made you think about the pain)

Now give up pain
(Don't give up pain)

You just got some pain

Some pain

You got pain

?The Mob Rules?

Close the city and

tell the people that

something's coming to call

Death and darkness are

rushing forward to

take a bite from the wall

You've nothing to say

They're breaking away

If you listen to fools

The Mob Rules

Break the circle and

stop the movement

The wheel is thrown to the ground

Just remember

it might start rolling and

get you right back around

'Cause it's over, it's done

They say the end is begun

You've nothing to say

They're breaking away

Break the spirit and

stop the movement

The wheel is thrown to the ground

Got to remember

it might start rolling

and take you right back around

We're all fools

Tracy G! [Grijalva]
(Dio 1993-99, Love/Hate)

Of course, that one from the Sabs.

Vinnie and I, for a long time in that band,
and happily, we might add, eh, Vinnie?

Alright, we had a good time with that one.

We should like to do another one for you
that kicks something else special off.

This one you remember, it's called

?Children of the Sea?

In the misty morning

On the edge of time

We've lost the rising sun

A final sign

As the misty morning

rolls away to die

Reaching for the stars

we blind the sky

We sailed across the air

before we learned to fly

We thought that it could never end

We'd glide above the ground

before we learned to run

Now it seems our world has come undone

They say that it's over

And it just had to be

Yes, they say that it's over

We're lost children of the sea

Look out

The sky is falling down

It's spinning round and round

The sun is going black

Never never never coming back

?Holy Diver?

Holy Diver

You've been down too long in the midnight sea

What's becoming of me?

Ride the tiger

You can see his stripes but you know he's clean

Don't you see what I mean?

Gotta get away

Got shiny diamonds

Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue

Something is coming for you

Look out

Race for the morning

You can hide in the sun till you see the light

We will pray it's all right

Gotta get away

Between the velvet lies

There's a truth that's hard as steel

I say the vision never dies

Life's a never ending wheel

You're the star of the masquerade

No need to look so afraid

Jump

Jump the tiger

You feel his heart but you know he's mean

Some light can never be seen

You've been down too long in the midnight sea

What's becoming of me?

Ride the tiger

You see his stripes but you know he's clean

Don't you see what I mean?

Gotta get away

Sole survivor

You're the one who's clean

There's a cat in the blue coming after you

?Heaven and Hell?

It goes on and on

There's big black shape looking up at me

And he said, ?I know where you want to be.?

He said, ?Come with me and I'll give you

desire.

First, you've got to burn

in fire.?

On and on.

Round...

Sing me a song

You're a singer

Do me a wrong

You're a bringer of evil

The Devil is never a maker

And the less that you give,

you're a taker

And it's on and on

It goes on and on

Well it's on and on

It's Heaven and Hell

Well if it seems to be real,

it's illusion

For every moment of truth

there's confusion in life

Love can be seen as the answer

But nobody bleeds for the dancer

?Man on the Silver Mountain?

I'm a wheel, a wheel, I roll, I can feel

And you can't stop me turning

I'm the sun, the sun, I move, I can run

You'll never stop me burning

Get down with fire

Lift my spirit higher

Someone's screaming my name

Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain

I'm the day, the day, I show you the way

And look, I'm right beside you

I'm the night, the light, the dark and the light

And I got eyes that see inside you

Get down with fire

Lift my spirit higher

Someone's screaming my name

Come and make me holy again

I'm your man

I'm your man on the silver mountain

And I can help you, you know I can

I'm the light, I'm the dark and the light

I'll give you my hand

You understand

Vinnie! Vinnie Appice.

?Heaven and Hell? (continued)

Well if it seems to be real,

it's illusion

For every moment of truth

there's confusion in life

Love can be seen as the answer

But nobody bleeds for the dancer

And it goes on and on

I can tell

I say it's hell

And my heart burns

bright

We'd like to do a couple more reasons
why we came to see you this year.

And that's because of
the album ?Strange Highways?.

This is not the Dio that you remember, of course.

You hear different things.

We try to do some of the things that
you do remember and that you like.

But our reason is to take two steps
into the future, not ten steps backward.

We should like to do this one for you,
from ?Strange Highways?, it's called

?Jesus Mary & the Holy Ghost?

Prime-time nursery rhyme

Did you see the Teacher?

Sister black and white

What's she gonna do?

They say eye for eye

tooth for tooth

But don't hurt your brother

Cross road overload

I, I testify

They just showed me Mary

She was stoned, stoned, danger zone

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

holy spirit

holy ghost

hiding in the dark

And it's a nightmare, electric chair

You might not get to heaven

Poor boy, shout for joy

We get to watch him till he cries

Prime-time nursery rhyme

Love just needs religion

Cross road overload

I testify

Jesus, Mary and the holy bloody ghost.

One more from ?Strange Highways?,

we should like to do this one for you,
about the place that, unfortunately I guess,
at the moment we live.

This will tell you all about it
just by the title, it's called

?Hollywood Black?

Came to the Sunset scene

to find out who's inside of me

Some lies I've never seen

This one lies on the silver screen

in between

Real and Dream

like a scream

Caught in the middle

Same story but different eyes

Here's where the hero

He never, never dies

Can't you tell

that all the wishes you make,

they fill up the well?

I'm caught in the middle

Right in the middle

Too late too little

Back to the street again

Or was that yesterday

another yesterday's gone?

Back in the jungle

Running with the animals

Howling at the sign of the spotlight

Those dreams are made of glass

You throw just one stone

and then there goes your last window

Can't you tell

that every wish that you made

has filled up the well?

Yesterday

I've been left in Hollywood

And I'm never coming back

Lost in Hollywood

And I just, I'll never tell

It's Hollywood

And only fools come back

'Cause Hollywood's black

Hello, darling, you alright?

It was great for us to be hear again tonight.

Thank you so much! We shall be back.

We'd like to do this one
before we go, it's called

?The Last in Line?

this one.

We're a ship without a storm,

the cold without the warm,

light inside the darkness that it needs

We're a laugh without a tear,

the hope without the fear

We are coming

home

We're off to the witch

We may never never never come home

But the magic that we feel,

it's worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross

We're the throw before the toss

You can release yourself

The only way is

down

We don't come alone

We are fire

We are stone

We're the hand that writes

then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time

If we're evil or divine

We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east

It's the angel

or the beast

The answer lies between

the good and the bad

And we search for the truth

We could die upon the tooth

The thrill of just the chase,

it's worth the pain

We'll know for the first time

If we're evil or divine

We're off to the witch

We may never

get home

We're all born upon the cross

The throw before the toss

You can release yourself

The only way is down

We'll know for the first time

If we're evil or divine

We're a ship without the storm

Cold without the warm

Laugh without a tear

Hope without the fear

See how we shine

Shine on

You're the last in

You're the last in line

Thank you, guys, thank you so much!

We can go out happy now.

We'll do this one for you then.

I guess you remember this one, it's called

?Rainbow in the Dark?

When there's lightning

You know it always brings me down

'Cause it's free and I see that it's me

who's lost and never found

I cry out for magic

Feel it dancing in the light

It was cold

Lost my hold to the shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark

Do your demons,

well, do they ever let you go?

When you tried, do they hide deep inside?

Is it someone that you know?

We're just a picture

We're an image caught in time

We're a lie

You and I

We're words without a rhyme

No sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark

When I see lightning

You know it always brings me down

'Cause it's free and I see that it's me

who's lost and never found

I cry out for magic

See it floating in the air

It was fear

And you'll hear it calling you beware

No sign of the morning coming

No sign of the day
(Big sight to the day?)

You've been left on your own

No sign of the morning

You're a rainbow in the dark

See your own

Your own rainbow

Thank you again! This one's called

?We Rock?

You watch their faces

You see the traces

of the things they want to be

but only we can see

They come for killing

They leave and still it seems

that the cloud they left behind

just penetrates your mind

Sail on

Sing your song

Carry on

We pray to someone

But when it's said and done,

it's really all the same

It's just a different name

Too many voices,

all give you choices

If you listen they will say

that we can find the way

But we'll sail on

Sing our song

Carry on

What do you do?

You watch those faces

You're gonna see the traces of

the things they want to be

only we and we can see

They come for killing

They leave and still it seems

that the cloud they've left behind

just penetrates your mind

Sail on

Sing your song

Carry on

How we rock!

Might just see us rock

You've got to ride out

stand and shout

carry on

Sail on

Sing your song

Carry on

You rock

Goodbye!

Proved really tight, this one!

Go for it, my old son!

?Here's to You?

Here's to me

Masters of the universe

The curse of destiny

All for one

And one for all

You can pull the trigger

as you're knocking down the wall

If you pile the truth too high

the lies will always bring it down

You desperation angels

Here's what we've found

That the world spins round

Come on, raise the dead

Heads will roll

Cancel the infection

We can purify the soul

Do the crime

Then write the law

There's no harm in a change where

a change you never saw

You resurrection angels

See what we've found

That the world fell down, so

Here's to me

Here's to me

Here's to reason

Raise the dead

Here's to freedom

Raise the dead

What is the reason?

Raise the dead

Here's to you

Gonna let it go

Here's to freedom

And you

Thank you all!

Thank you! Good night!

Thank you! Good night!
