Dio - The Last In Line Album Lyrics

We Rock

You watch their faces you'll 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 the cloud that's left behind oh can penetrate your mind
But sail on sing a song carry on 'cause we rock we rock we rock we rock
We pray to someone but when it's said and done it's really all the same with just a different name
So many voices all giving choices if we listen they will say oh we can find the way
But we'll sail on sing a song carry on 'cause we rock we rock we rock we rock
We rock we rock we rock we rock we rock we rock
You watch their faces you'll 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 the cloud that's left behind can penetrate your mind
But sail on sing a song carry on 'cause we rock we rock we rock we rock
We rock we rock we rock we rock ride out stand and shout carry on sail on sing your song carry on
'cause we rock we rock see how we rock we rock that's rock we rock we rock we rock

The Last In Line

We're a ship without a storm the cold without the warm light inside the darkness that it needs yeah
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'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross the throw before the toss you can release yourself but 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 yeah we're the last in line
Two eyes from the east it's the angel or the beast and the answer lies between the good and bad
We search for the truth we could die upon the tooth but the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time if we're evil or divine we're the last in line yeah we're the last in line oh oh oh
Yeah we're off to the witch we may never never never come home but the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross you know we'rethe throw before the toss
You can release yourself but the only way you go is down
We'll know for the first time if we're evil or divine we're the last in line oh oh we're the last in line
See all we shine we're the last in we're the last in we're the last in we're the last in
We're the last in we're the last line oh oh ooh oh
We're the ship without the storm we're the cold inside the warm
We're the last without a tear we're the throw without the meal
We're the last in line we're the last in line
We're the last in line see how we shine we're the last in line

Breathless

No no no no no no no
You said a single word but no one really heard sometimes we scream alone
It's always worse at night when darkness kills the light you're in the danger zone
You wait with pounding heart you know it's just the start
'cause you're breathless ready to burn breathless the circle still turns
Breathless willing to learn you're breathless yeah
Living inside your mind who knows the things you'll find there could be hell or rainbows
But it's a funny thing the more you feel the sting you're just a leaf that the wind blows
You've been this way before one step and you're through the door
And you're breathless ready to burn breathless the circle still turns
Breathless you're willing to learn you're breathless yeah alright
Yeah you said a single word but no one really heard sometimes we scream alone
It's always worse at night when darkness kills the light you're in the danger zone
You wait with pounding heart you know it's just the start
'cause you're breathless ready to burn breathless the circle still turns
Breathless willing to learn you're breathless yeah
When you're breathless alone in the night breathless but you fear and you're right
Breathless ready to burn you're breathless
You said a single word no one really heard
It's always worse at night 'cause when the darkness kills the light
Then you're breathless yeah you're breathless ready to burn
Breathless you're willing to learn breathless oh the circle still turns
You're breathless breathless come you're breathless

I Speed At Night

Alright dark touches send rushed through the brain black's whiter burns brighter than the flame
No shadows just whispers in the wind no faces just places to begin
I just come seeking pleasure I hate the light I speed at night at night at night alright
My demons they seem to disappear no vision I only see to hear
Protection I never needed none direction just nowhere near the sun
You've got some stairs to heaven you may be right
I only know in my world I hate the light I speed at night
I speed at night I speed at night I speed at night alright
Dark touches send rushed through the brain black's whiter burns brighter than the flame
No shadows just whispers in the wind no faces just places to begin
You've got some stairs to heaven you may be right
I only know in my world I hate the light I speed at night
I speed at night I speed at night I speed at night yeah
I speed at night night night night night I speed at night night night night night
No shadows no faces just whispers in dark places
I speed at night I speed at night I speed at night I speed at night alright

One Night In The City

Oh Johnny was a dark child he was promised to us all
But riders in the night can lift you out of sight when they call that's all
But Sally was a princess and she was chosen for the crown
But chains can't stop the sound of one night in the city one night looking pretty yeah
Then someone opened doorways and Johnny slipped away
Running for the bright where dark is always light but there's no day no way
The princess saw the dark child and the dark child said her name come steal away we'll play the game
Do you watch do you see do you know the people in me I'm the bite I'm the bark I'm the scream
I'm the poor I'm the sure I'm the holy I'm the pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe
One night in the city one night looking pretty one night in the city one night looking pretty
One night one night one night one night one night one night
Yeah the children shared the wonder of the leather and the lace
But one child went away and one child stayed to play for one night in the city
One night looking pretty yeah one night in the city one night touching pretty
But chains don't make a wall and dreams lay where they fall
Dark is never night when dreams make up the light one night in the city
One night feeling pretty yeah one night in the city feeling pretty pretty pretty
Pretty in the city one night in the city yeah one night one night one night one night
One night in the city one night one night oh one child went away
And one child stayed to play chains don't make a wall
Your dreams are made up where they fall one night in the city

Evil Eyes

Hide in the midnight turn out the lights you'll see them anyway
Sail into never they'll follow wherever you can go and take you to the places you don't know no no
It's the call of the city the way that black's pretty to the purest heart
It's places of pleasure they promise you treasure if you fly and then there goes the soul of you and I
Oh do you ever think about the way I caught the rainbow I'll be there where fire makes you dance
I'm gonna give you the look that opens up the skies I've got evil eyes evil eyes evil eyes evil eyes
Yes evil eyes oh those eyes
Hide in the night time turn out the light they'll see you anyway
Sail into never they'll follow wherever you can go evil eyes evil eyes evil eyes evil eyes
Evil eyes evil eyes take your lies evil eyes you're a thin disguise for what you are evil eyes
Say that you never the'll follow forever 'cause they're evil eyes evil evil evil evil evil evil eyes

Mystery

Hey can you hear me can you see there's a storm on the edge of the sky
Does it matter it well does to me I can tell you why
You know when there's thunder there should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule no
And is the wise man always right no he can play the fool
It's always a mystery not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery just like you and me always a mystery
We are lightning we are flame and we burn at the touch of a spark
When there's the fire but no one sees the there's only the dark
Just imagine will you try I can see that you've opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear but they always shine
It's always a mystery not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery just like you and me always a mystery
It's always a mystery not what it seems to be always a mystery just like you and me
It's always a mystery not what you want to see
Always a mystery just like you and me always a mystery
Always a mystery not what you want to see always a mystery

Eat Your Heart Out

Well it's a long hot road I've been upon through the desert of your soul
I've looked high and low for water but it's not there no no
And all the promises of springtime turned to lies so cold
But I'm stronger than you know and I've come to let you go
Go eat your heart out you've been a bad bad girl you've been hungry all of your life so eat it out
I've been a prisoner just locked away inside your velvet jail
It don't matter at all some things can grow without the light alright
Spinning cages for her pleasure weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailer all on fire and then he dies
Eat your heart out you've been a bad bad girl you've been hungry all of your life yeah
We speed across emotions and then we lose our hold
We turn on wings of passion that we can't control no
And all the promises of springtime turned to lies so cold
But I'm stronger than you know and I've come to let you go
Go eat your heart out you've been a bad bad girl you've been hungry all of your life so eat your heart out
Eat your heart out you've been a bad bad girl you've been hungry all of your life so eat it out
Eat your heart out run to the shadows of night eat your heart out
Spinning cages for her pleasure weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailer all on fire and then he dies then he dies

Egypt (The Chains Are On)

In the land of the lost horizon where the queen lies dark and cold
And when the stars won't shine then the story's told yeah
When the world was milk and honey and the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew oh oh that the chains were on that the chains were on
My my my in the land of no tomorrow where you pray just to end each day
And your life just slowly melts away
Each day you hear the sand as it moves and whispers come and sail on my golden sea
Maybe one day you'll be just like me and that's free but still your chains are on
Yes your chains are on still your chains are on
You've seen them walking on the water you've seen flying through the sky
They were frightening in the darkness they had rainbows in their eyes
When the world was milk and honey and the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew yeah that the chains were on
That the chains were on that the chains were on that the chains were on
Oh my the chains were on in the land of the lost horizon where the chains are on
In the land of milk and honey still the chains are on
Where the queen lies dark and lonely still the chains are on
And the world was low and magic but the chains were on
The chains were on oh the chains were on yeah the chains were on oh the chains were on
Yeah the chains were on I've seen them walking on the water
Yeah the chains were on I've seen them flying through the sky
My the chains were on they were frightening in the darkness
Yes the chains were on they had rainbows in their eyes
