Dedicated To Dio

[Cauldron_Born]

RONNIE JAMES DIO

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE GIFT THE DARK GODS SENT

IN DAYS OF MY YOUTH, LONG GONE AND SPENT

A VOICE LIKE THUNDER ROLLED OUT OF NOWHERE

AND BORE ME ON BAT-LIKE WINGS, THROUGH THE AIR

A WITCHES’ BLACK SABBATH OPENED THE DOOR

TO THIS SPHERE OF FANTASIA, I COULD ONLY WANT MORE

I HEARD A SNAKE CHARMER PIPING, STRANGE, IN THE NIGHT

AS I SAILED ON SABLE, WEIRDLING-VANS IN MY FLIGHT

OUT PAST A RAINBOW, SHIMMERING IN THE DARK

IN EGYPT, I HEARD THE JACKAL GODS BARK

IN THE DEPTHS OF THE HOLY DIVER, I WAS SET FREE

TO RANGE AND REVEL WITH THE CHILDREN OF THE SEA

WITH A VOICE FORGED IN DARKNESS OF INVINCIBLE STEEL

YOU TOOK ME TO PLACES WHERE MAGICK IS REAL

NOW YOU’VE GONE BEYOND TO WHAT WILD, WEIRD CLIME?

BUT YOUR MIGHTY SOUNDS SHALL RESOUND DOWN THROUGH TIME

[Nightstalker]

Wonderful words, dude...

[MetalMolli]

Really great!

[Cauldron_Born]

Thanks guys! I thought that here on Sacred Metal a lot of you would feel the same as I do about Dio and his music. Frank Frazetta died the week before,now this. It feels like the world I know is fading away.

Wonderful words Howie.

The lost of Dio will hurt in the deepest deep of our hearts for a long long time.

I have never met such a charming person like him in my whole life. A true gentleman, a true star.

Rest In Peace Master
