Dio - The Last In Line
We re a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We re a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home
We re off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we ll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We re all born upon the cross
We re throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down
We don t come alone
We are fire we are stone
We re the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away
We ll know for the first time
If we re evil or divine
We re the last in line
We re the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It s the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain
We ll know for the first time
If we re evil or divine
We re the last in line
We re the last in line
We re off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we ll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We re all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way you go is down
We ll know for the first time
If we re evil or divine
We re the last in line
We re the last in line
"The Last in Line" was the third single released by heavy metal band Dio, appearing on their 1984 LP of the same name. Unlike the band's first two singles, this song was not released as a single in the UK, but rather in The Netherlands and Spain. There is also an alternate version in the Netherlands sold only at the Pinkpop '84 festival on June 11, 1984. The sleeve of this release was the same as the band's previous single, Rainbow in the Dark, with the Pinkpop logo in the corner.
