Dio - Killing The Dragon Lyrics

1. Killing The Dragon

Silence - we hunt for the queen Sign of the cross And pray in-between

Look by the light of the day She’s hiding till dark Waiting to play hey-hey

Something’s taken a child And it all must end Time to be killing the dragon again

Silence - we’ll hunt for the lord He takes crimson and gold Gave ice to the cold

Oh to be never afraid Of wolves at the door Howling for more

More’s been empty for years And it all must end Time to be killing the dragon again

Kneel and behold your new king Digital dreams And wonderful things to tease you

Small gods with electrical hearts And it all will end Time to be killing the dragon

2. Along Comes A Spider

Remember when you only needed no one Every day’s tomorrow And it’s all right No confessions - not for you Forget the things you’ve done It’s what you’ll do

The first time you’re suspicious What’s that gliding down Along comes a spider

Suddenly the world has no more changes You’ve run with an evil woman So it’s all right No more strangers’ candy lies The light is so much better for your eyes

Now I’m not superstitious But every time you’ve tried Along comes a spider

Don’t ask why - it’s the long way around Just go wild

Why do we believe in conversation We never seem to listen We only hear

Now you don’t need permission But don’t get caught next time Along comes a spider A spider A spider Inside her

3. Scream

You’ve made it through another day Driving past the back roads of your mind You could have turned the other way And break down on the sanity you’ve found inside you

Someone said that you are fantasy But in the darkness Behind your smile You scream Scream Scream for the crazy ones Scream at the things you’ve done Scream at the rising sun

We bless the beautiful Let us forgive you for your sins These must be holy ones How could we believe they’d let us in

Oh, once I heard that they were fantasy But in the darkness Behind their smiles They scream Scream Scream of a broken heart Scream as they come apart Scream cause they never started Scream

No pain No sympathy You’ve always been so steady at the wheel

Some friend reality You break down on the highway About to see it my way

Scream at the crazy ones Scream cause they all have sons Scream as they point the gun at you

Scream at the bleeding heart Scream cause the end won’t start Scream as you come apart again Again, again, again

4. Better In The Dark

I’m all right - I’m crossing over I just shot the sun One more night - black as heaven So no-one saw the gun

Running with monsters in shadows And monsters always know It’s better in the dark

Oh, she’s all right - tall and handsome If the lights are down Gone by dawn - takes no chances Might come back around

Clutching to monsters in shadows And monsters always know It’s better in the dark

I’m all right - I’m crossing over I can disappear - gone

Clutching to monsters in shadows And monsters always know It’s better in the dark Better in the dark I just shot the sun

5. Rock And Roll

If they take away your song You can finally hear the voices Of the ones that don’t belong

In the face of the rising wind We all sing Gloria Is there flame without fire Most unlikely

If you’re there when the walls come down We all sing - warrior Is there sight without sound Most unlikely

But we got rock and roll Rock and roll Take me anywhere Rock and roll Rock and roll Is there someone there Rock and roll

On the edge of the last goodbye We all sing - warrior Ah the brave never die Most unlikely

Hey, send your heroes of to war But whisper in their ear Never cross the song police They can tell you what you’re gonna hear - again

For the sake of the left behind We all sing Gloria Soon forgotten by time So unlikely

Cause we got rock and roll Rock and roll Take you anywhere

Rock and roll Rock and roll Someone’s always there Rock and roll

Bring me anywhere Rock and roll Rock and roll Someone’s always there Rock and roll Rock and roll me, ah

Rock and roll Rock and roll Rock and roll Rock and roll

6. Push

You’ve ridden on a carousel So you know the feeling As the ring slips through your fingers

Sometimes you justify it But there’s the sword And you’re bleeding once again

Before you’re in a corner Can’t crawl away Here’s a way to save you

You gotta push Get out of my way and push You can turn the wheel Push One more push

You’re master of the broken heart And so you know the feeling As your soul starts going under Sometimes you rectify it Then out of the blue The hammer falls again

Before you’re in the water Can’t sail away Here’s a way to save you

You gotta push Break the body down Oh push Out of my way I’ll push You better push

You gotta push Hands against the wall And push Out of my way we’ll push You can turn the wheel Go on and push Push Push Push Push

7. Guilty

He’d never tell her lies And she believed in magic But when the magic died She could see that all along he’s just been

Guilty - a liar, liar Guilty Guilty - burn in fire Guilty

It’s time to say goodbye Don’t tell another story Another alibi Now you see that all along he’s just been

Guilty - a liar, liar Guilty Guilty - you burn in fire Guilty Guilty - the great pretender Guilty You’re guilty - just surrender cause you’re guilty

Broken promise But please forgive again One more time for me It’s the very last time - you’ll see

Guilty - liar, liar You’ll burn in fire Guilty - liar, liar Guilty

Guilty - the great pretender Guilty Guilty - just surrender, you’re guilty Guilty, guilty, guilty A liar, liar Guilty - you’ll burn in fire Oh guilty, you’ll burn in fire Surrender - guilty So guilty

8. Throw Away Children

oh, the sun’s gone down Her day begins And the rhythm of the darkness Wakes the dead

Don’t answer eyes that smile Don’t let them in They see the lonely child She feels their sin But it’s getting so much colder And she’s afraid

Never going back to where the pain was She’d rather face the pain that’s here and now

Someone’s thrown away their children You can see them running from your smile Sing for the runaway children The throwaway child

I’ll make you safe and warm Words she needs to hear What they really mean is no more little girl

Don’t see her anymore They disappear

Yesterday they said that she was dying And just today I heard that she was dead

Someone’s thrown away their children You can see them running from your smile Sing for the runaway children The throwaway child

Someone’s thrown away their children You can hear them only if you try Sing for the runaway children Goodbye

Someone’s thrown away their children You can see them running from your smile Sing for the runaway children The throwaway child

9. Before The Fall

Someone had a dream Never been to London Never in a limousine

Something made him go Could it be the voices Coming from the radio

But somewhere down the line The happiness you’ll find Will crash into a wall Just before the fall

Someone joined the band But he never heard the music Couldn’t really understand No, no no

Don’t know what they mean Where’s my picture Shining from a magazine

But somewhere down the line He’ll quickly glance behind Then smash into a wall Before the fall

Someone ran so fast When he saw the future He was sure that it was just the past

Someone had a dream Only this one ended lost Inside the old machine

And somewhere down the line They’ll say that his is mine And all that’s left is time Time to fall and stumble, ah

10. Cold Feet

Tired of living in the black and white? Where fools can tell you that you’re never right I know a place where the film’s in color Just step inside of yourself Here’s a place in the front row So on with the show

The same old shadow on the run That’s no shadow, it’s your shadow’s son

I know a place where the pools got water And you don’t need to know how to swim Here’s the key to the back door Do you want more Do you need more?

Same old rhythm to the same old rhyme The same old clock - same old time

There’s a place where the grass is greener And you can shake, rattle and roll Here’s the key to the front door Do you want more Will you need more?

Tired of living in the black and white Where no-one’s wrong and you’re never right Same old steps to the same old dance Just one more reason - one more chance Oh
