  • Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
    Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
    He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
    He has soared on the wings of a demon.

    It's time to pass the torch,
    You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
    We're takin' you to a home,
    But we will sing a song about you.
    And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
    You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow!

    Your sauce will mix with ours,
    And we'll make a good goulash baby.
    Dio, time to go!
    You must give your cape and scepter to me.
    And a smaller one for KG.
    Go! Go! Dio! Dio! Oh! Writer/s: Kyle Richard Gass, Thomas Jacob Black

  • Joni from New York, NyIt's so rude. Dio Is 10000 times better than Black
  • Lester from New York City, NySaw RJD (born Ronald James Padanova) twice in the early '70s with his then group ELF. Wasn't that impressed. I read at the time that ELF's band members could not exceed 5' 4" in height. In the '90s I found a CD version of ELF's first album. Wasn't that impressed. Was certainly impressed by Dio when I first saw him with (what was then) Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (rainbows remained a theme in Dio's future music). Heaven & Hell may be Black Sabbath's best album.
  • Keith from Sioux City, Iathe pick of destiny introduced me to dio ever since i couldnt get enough of dio
