 | Neon knights
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
Oh no, here it comes again
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again
Again and again and again
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time aga |

Ride out, protectors of the realm
Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloodied angels fast descending
Moving on a never bending light
Phantom figures, free forever
Out of shadows, shining ever bright
Neon knights
Neon knights
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Again and again
Again and again and again
Neon knights
Neon knights

Children of the sea
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
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, run
Now it seems our world has come undone
Oh, they say that it's over and it just had to be
Ooh, they say that it's over - we're lost children of the sea
We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played
Hiding in our corner of the world
Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore
Threw away the key and locked the door
Oh, 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
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
Oh, they say that it's over and it just had to be
Oh, they say that it's over - poor lost children of the sea
Look out! The sky is falling down
Look out! The world is spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
Look out! The sun is going black, black
Look out! It's never, never, never coming back
Look out!
Lady evil
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
There's a place just south of witches valley
Where they say the wind won't blow
And they only speak in whispers of her name
There's a lady they say who feeds the darkness
It eats right from her hand
With a crying shout she'll search you out
And freeze you where you stand
Lady evil, evil
She's a magical, mystical woman
Lady evil, evil in my mind
She's queen of the night
In a place just south of witches valley
Where they say the rain won't fall
Thunder cracks the sky, it makes you bleed
There's a lady they say who needs the darkness
She can't face the light
With an awful shout she'll find you out
And have you for the night
Lady evil, evil
She's a magical, mystical woman
Lady evil, evil on my mind
She's the queen of the night
So if you ever get to witches valley
Don't dream or close your eyes
And never trust your shadow in the dark
'Cause there's a lady I know
Who takes your vision
And turns it all around
The things you see are what to be, lost and never found
Lady evil, evil
She's a magical, mystical woman
Lady evil, evil on my mind
She's queen of the night
Gonna do it right
She's the queen of sin
Look out! She'll pull you in
Lady wonder
Heaven and hell
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on
It's heaven and hell, oh, well
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on
Oh, it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
Heaven and hell, I can tell, fool, fool
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's on and on, on and on, and on
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell, well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's heaven and hell, no
Fool, fool - you've got to bleed for the dancer
Fool, fool - look for the answer
Fool, fool, fool
Wishing well
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
Throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no, no
Then think of a rainbow and I'll make it come real
Roll me, I'm a never ending wheel
I'll give you a star so you know just where you are
Don't you know that I might be your wishing well
Your wishing well
Look in the water, tell me what do you see
Reflections of the love you give to me
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry and why?
Time is a never ending journey
Love is a never ending smile
Give me a sign to build a dream on, dream on
Throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no, no
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
Let me fill myself with tears you cry
I'll give you a star so you know just where you are
Someday, some way, you'll feel the things I say
Dream for a while of the things that make you smile
'Cause you know, don't you know?
Oh, you know that I'm your wishing well
Your wishing well
Your wishing well
I wish you well
I'm your wishing well
Die young
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
Yell with the wind though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun and it tears away and it breaks you as you run
You run, you run
Behind the smile there's danger and a promise to be told
You'll never get old
Life's fantasy to be locked away and still to think you're free
You're free, we're free
So live for today, tomorrow never comes
Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing in the air?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fall
Yell with the wind though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Then chain the sun and it tears away, it face you as you run
You run, you run
So live for today, tomorrow never comes
Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young, die young
Walk away
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
Lord, she's handsome as she flows across the floor
Nothing I've seen in my life has ever pleased me more
She's got the look of freedom and it makes you think she's wild
But I can see right through it all, it's the way to have a child
Oh, walk away - she's looking to love you
There's nothing to say, just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, walk on
She moves in sunlight, never seen the night at all
Like a star in the midnight sky burns before it falls
I've never been lonely and I can't imagine why
Maybe she could be the one to tell me, I guess it's do or die
Can't see her fire but I can feel her heat
It's rising higher, I'm walking the wire
Walk on by
Oh, walk away - she's looking to love you
There's nothing to say, just turn your head and walk away
Walk on by, walk away, walk on
Walk on, walk on, walk away
You'll feel her fire, she'll lift you higher
But don't be fooled, just turn your head and walk away
Lonely is the word
(Iommi/Butler/Dio/Ward)
It's a long way to nowhere and I'm leaving very soon
On the way we pass so close to the back side of the moon
Hey, join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand, it's the only road I know
Oh, lonely is the word
I've been higher than stardust, I've been seen upon the sun
I used to count in millions then but now I only count in one
Come on, join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand, it's the only road I know
Yeah, lonely is the word
Got to be the saddest song I've ever heard
Yeah, lonely is the name
Maybe life's a losing game
