Heaven & Hell - Bible Black
At last alone, his fire's dying
Burned another day
Now to pretend and make up an ending
Somewhere far away
He reached for a book all bound in leather
Something that he knows he's never read
And the first page says "Beware, you've found the answer"
The next one says "I wish that you were dead"
Don't go on, put it back
You're reading from the Bible Black
What's this world I see
Who are you and who are me
Maybe I just stumbled in the dark
I must have been out cold
But the way the story's told
They found me lying naked in the rain, yeah
Let me go
I've seen religion but the light has left me blind
Take me back
I must have the Bible Black
Well, here I go again
From the start and to the end
I wish I could remember what I've done
Now, here's another spell
It could take me straight to Hell
And I feel I'm getting closer to my home
According to Dio, the song deals with a man who is addicted to the Bible Black that destroys him.
