Late tribute

[JC4GD]

(I put this together last month but did not post it up till now.......God bless.)

My condolances and prayer for Wendy Dio and family and the many in the Metal family. Healing will take time friends.

Back in the early 80's I spent time facinated by the music of Dio. It had a partial role in my looking for the answer, (and I did find.) Though I moved on to faster metal after that time with Dio's Rainbow/Sabbath/Dio(first albums) I still find my metal roots there. I was glad to rekindle this in recent years by seeing H&H live in 2007 and also enjoying the recent album TDYK.

I say with Dio's passing a part of Heavy Metal has passed away also. I thank God for him and pray He grant him passage into His kingdom of light where the rainbow never fades. Thanks again brother, though I never knew you personally, for helping me through your inspiring thoughts and the voice that echoed from Heaven to Hell.

...Fool, fool! Look for the answer!
...It's always a mystery, just like you and me ,always a mystery
...We'll know for the first time, if we're evil or divine
...You'll feel it, you'll feel it, you'll feel the rush of it all

...From the book, the word is spoken, whispers from forgotten psalms
...Take me back, I must have the Bible Black
...Come down with fire, Lift my spirit higher, Someone's screaming my name, Come and make me holy again
...Holy diver sole survivor, your honour's clean

...The ending is just a beginner
...We believed we'd catch the rainbow......So bless me
...I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain
...Something's called me back, There's a light in the black, Am I ready to go?, I'm coming home

...You 're hungry for heaven hungry for heaven hungry for heaven
...So live for today, Tomorrow never comes, Die young, die young
...Like a Rainbow in the Dark

...So if you want o know where, I've been Hiding all these years Follow the tears
...Yeah, Lonely is the word
