El Heavy Metal nuestro de cada dIa: Ronnie James Dio

Para el demonio que devoró las entrañas de Ronnie James Dio, solo tengo la más cruel rabia y tirria. Ruega a Dios que no te invoque en una ceremonia oculta, desde el centro de un círculo de sal y fuego. Ruega que no escuches los gritos de mis mandrágoras, imperándote a salir. Pide en vano a los poderes que quieras, que no te arranque de las llamas oscuras donde te escondes, solo para torturarte y saciarme con tu expiación dolorosa; tu exorcismo al revés. Te llevaste un alma noble, disfrazada de pieles oscuras. Silenciaste una voz poderosa. Ronnie fue pionero de un estilo vocal marcado en contrastes: lo suave y lo áspero, lo claro y lo oscuro, la ópera y el rock, el cielo y el infierno… Escúchenlo aquí, entre los tonos medievales que evocan sus siniestros cómplices, Butler, Iommi y Ward: Lucifer y compañía.

Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell
Oh well

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginning
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell
Fool, fool

Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on and on

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's heaven and hell, oh no

Fool, fool
You've got to bleed for the dancer
Fool, fool
Look for the answer
Fool, fool, fool
