Dio - The Dio E.P. Album Lyrics

Hungry For Heaven

You're a dancer
But you're dancing on air
Just a matter of time till you fall

You're a dreamer
One night at the fair
But still you want it all

You're in danger
The last of a line
But the vision lasts forever

So just hold on
You can make it happen for you
Reach for the stars and you will fly

You're Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
But you need a little hell

You're a runner
But you're chasing yourself
Feel the hot breath on your shoulder

You're emotion
Running cold running warm
The young just getting older

We are sunlight
We can sparkle and shine
And our dreams are what we're made of

So just hold on
You can make it happen for you
Reach for the stars and you will fly

You're Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
But you need a little hell

Hide In The Rainbow

Yes!
The best steel goes through the fire
And you seem to burn
The dead man's always a liar
Look out! There's another one learning!
Too late for tomorrow
There's only today
So take your magic carpet ride

Ooh
Hide in the rainbow
Hide in the rainbow

Ooh
The last one out of thunder
He will always survive
But if you are starting to wonder
No no, you can never surrender
You see through the mystery
And now you can fly
So take your magic carpet ride

Ooh
Hide in the rainbow
Ooh - to hide - yeah
Hide in the rainbow

You hide in the rainbow
Ride to the sun - yeah!
Now the best steel goes through the fire
And you seem to burn
The dead man's always a liar
Look out! there's another one learning!
Ooh - ooh
You got to hide in the rainbow
Oooh - oooh - oooh
Hide in the rainbow

Shame On The Night

Shame on the night
For places I've been
And what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never really know just what they mean
So oh shame on the night

Shame on you
You've stolen the day
Snatched it away
But I saw the sky
An I never want to die
Now you know the reason why
Oh shame on the night

You don't care what you've done
So I think I'd better run

Shame on the sun
For the light you sold
I've lost my hold
On the magic flame
But now I know your name
Oh lord just go the way you came again
Oh shame on the night

You don't care what you've done
So I know I'd better run
Shame on the night
For places I've been
And what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never really know just what they mean
So oh shame on the night

Egypt (The Chains Are On)

In the land of the lost horizon
Where the queen lies dark and cold
When the stars won't shine, then the story's told

When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains were on

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

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
The the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains were on
That 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 were on
When the world was new and magic
Still the chains are on
