Long Live Rock’n’Roll
(Blackmore/Dio)

All right!
Rock and roll

At the end of a dream if you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way at the end of today
I can feel the sound of writing on the wall

It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screaming in my mind

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n'roll
Let it live

In a different time when the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change, it was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all

It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screaming in my mind

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
I'm losing control

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n’roll
Look you

If you suddenly see what has happened to me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here that it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found

It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screaming through the air

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n’roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n’roll
Banners held high with a curse and cry and it's

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n’roll
You feel it down, spread it 'round, make a sound, it's got to be

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n’roll
Live, live, live, live

Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock'n'roll
Long live rock’n’roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live, let it live

Lady Of The Lake
(Blackmore/Dio)

There's a magical sound sliding over the ground
Making it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry falling out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands

When a movement behind hit the side of my mind
I trembled and shook it away
Then another assault and I started to faulter
Fibres of steel turned to clay

With a bubbly turn, now the water should churn
And push it away from the core
And a lady in white will bring sun to the night
Brighter than ever before

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands

Lady of the lake

There's a magical sound sliding over the ground
Making it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry falling out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake

With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a slivery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night

Straight down I'm swirling around
Blinded and bruised by the strain
There must be some way to see
Diamonds out of the rain

I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands

Lady of the lake

L.A. Connection
(Blackmore/Dio)

Carry home my broken bones
And lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans
I guess I've failed to pass the test

I've been sent away, not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings
And left out in the cold

Ooh, L.A. connection
Oh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection

Operator, place a call
Keep the secret, put it through
Investigator knows it all
He's at the window, I wonder who

I've got to cut the line and let me drift
Find a haven in the storm
I got no time, I need a lift
To where it's sweet and close and warm

I say: "Ooh, L.A. connection"
Oh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection

Carry home my broken bones
And lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans
Well, I've just failed the test

Feel I'm balanced on the brim
Should I lean another way?
Like a flame that's going on
The dim needs blessing from the day

Ooh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection
Oh, take me away, I got nothing to say
It's got to be an L.A. connection

Ooh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection
Oh, L.A., L.A., L.A., L.A.
L.A. connection, connection

Ooh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection
Oh, L.A., oh, L.A. connection
L.A., L.A. inspection

Ooh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection
Oh, I'm down, oh, I'm down
I can't take a rejection

L.A., need an L.A. connection
L.A.

Ooh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection
I'm flying away
Take me back home, I gotta get home to L.A.

L.A., L.A. connection
L.A.

Ooh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection
Oh, L.A. connection
L.A. connection

Gates Of Babylon
(Blackmore/Dio)

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride, a genie, maybe more
A city of heavenly sin

Sleep with the devil
And then you must pay
Sleep with the devil
The devil will take you away

Oh, gates of Babylon

You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The gates of Babylon

You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A sabre dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave

Sleep with the devil
And then you must pay
Sleep with the devil
The devil will take you away

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride, a genie, maybe more
A city of heavenly sin

Sleep with the devil
And then you must pay
Sleep with the devil
The devil will take you away

Black gates of Babylon

The devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon

Kill The King
(Blackmore/Dio/Powell)

Danger, danger
The queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger
Life about to spill

Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king - tear him down
Kill the king - strike him down

Power, power
It happens every day
Power, devour
All along the way

Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
And fly like the wind
I'm no pawn so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king

Treason, treason
The specter looms again
Treason, reason
The realm is safe and then

Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king - tear him down
Kill the king - got to take his crown, crown

Kill the king - he'll rule no more
Strike him dead - the people roar
Kill the king
Take his head

Down, down, down, down

Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh

The Shed (Subtle)
(Blackmore/Dio/Powell)

I'm like a freight train
Feeling no pain
I never turn back one track
Better step aside

Like a shotgun
I'm really someone
You'll feel my heatwave
Won't save anyone near to me

I'm steel so come
And try to bend me if you can
I don't feel before you know it it's over
Get out of my way

I'm street walking
Street walking
Night stalking
I'm street walking

No reputation
You better quick run
'Cause I got no time
I'll climb all over you

You need a strong hand
To be a mean man
You've got to think fast
I'll last longer than you could know

I'm steel so won't you come
And try to bend me if you can?
I don't feel before you know it it's over
Out of my way

I'm street walking

Hey, I'm a wild cat
Don't need to prove that
I'm always howling, prowling
Stalking my prey

It could be your night
To feel the dog bite
And hear the slashing, crashing
Tearing inside of you

I'm steel so come
And try to break me if you can, no way
Like a wheel about to roll you over
Get out of my way

I'm street walking
Street walking
No talking
Street walking

Night stalking
Street walking
No talking
I'm street walking

I'm street walking, street walking
Night stalking
Street walking

Sensitive To Light
(Blackmore/Dio)

I was feeling rather good
Should've touched some wood
Here she comes again
Reaching out to bend my ear

She's worth another look
All the time it took
Pleasing to the eye
How can I just disappear?

It ain't clear, no

She's a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light

Oh, I just might

I could have let her in
Give her just a spin
Let her think it's love
Better rise above it all

She's knocking at the door
Seems to want some more
Never gets the clue
What am I to do, she'll fall

And she might call, oh no

I say: "She's a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light"

Oh, I just know

She could do me well
I can always tell
She's ready for the kill
But I think that I will go, no

Sure I'm gonna see
Something just for me
'Till it comes along
When it's feeling wrong I'll know

Gotta take it slow

She's a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light

Oh, I might

She's a bright and blazing star
But I just must be sensitive to light

Sensitive to light

Rainbow Eyes
(Blackmore/Dio)

She's been gone since yesterday
Oh, I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way

She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words, you can't defend
They lead to nevermore

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way

She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
And all the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there?

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way

She had rainbow eyes
