    LYRICS
    Yeah, yeah
    Holy Diver
    You've been down too long in the midnight sea
    Oh, what's becoming of me?
    Ride the tiger
    You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
    Oh, don't you see what I mean?
    Gotta get away
    Holy Diver
    YEAH
    (YEAH)
    Shiny diamonds
    Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
    Something is coming for you - look out!
    Race for the morning
    You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
    Oh, we will pray it's all right
    Gotta get away - get away
    Between the velvet lies
    There's a truth that's hard as steel
    The vision never dies
    Life's a never ending wheel - yeah!
    Holy Diver
    You're the star of the masquerade
    No need to look so afraid
    Jump, Jump
    Jump on the tiger
    You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
    Some light can never be seen - yeah!
    (Holy Diver...)
    Holy Diver
    You've been down too long in the midnight sea
    Oh, what's becoming of me? - No? Yeah!
    Ride the tiger
    You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
    Oh, don't you see what I mean?
    Gotta get away, get away (get away!)
    Gotta get away, get away - yeah, yeah
    Holy Diver, sole survivor
    Your heart is clean
    Yeah, Holy Diver (Holy diver)
    Holy Diver (Holy Diver)
    You're caught in the middle coming after you, Holy Diver
    Oh, Holy Diver (Holy Diver)
    Get away, get away, get away - come on!

    Last summer me and my friend met Howard (very very quickly) I wouldn’t even really call it meeting him. But after his gig with Light The Torch, We ran outside to the tour bus to see if we could say hello, and sure enough there was Howard. We said a couple quick words and said it was an amazing show! And he acknowledged us and said thanks for coming out to the show! Then he jumped on his bus, and took off. It probably didn’t mean anything to him, but to us it meant the world. Being life long fans of his work, it was a very special moment. He’s the best!

    Okay don't get me wrong, Jesse Leach is a great singer too and I know that he was the original lead singer of Killswitch Engage. But there's just something about Howard that made the band sound unique and different from most typical rock bands and he's the reason I've recently got into this band in the first. The man is a beast with those powerful vocals and the fact that he did a cover of a Dio song of all things and absolutely nailed it proves it.

    *Lyrics*
    Holy Diver
    You've been down too long in the midnight sea
    Oh what's becoming of me
    Ride the tiger
    You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
    Oh don't you see what I mean
    Gotta get away
    Holy Diver
    Shiny diamonds
    Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
    Something is coming for you
    Race for the morning
    You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
    Oh we will pray it's all right
    Gotta get away-get away
    Between the velvet lies
    There's a truth that's hard as steel
    The vision never dies
    Life's a never ending wheel
    Holy Diver
    You're the star of the masquerade
    No need to look so afraid
    Jump on the tiger
    You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
    Some light can never be seen

    I think this song is equivalent, if not a little more than on par with the original song. Please don't hate on either Dio or Killswitch Engage, two excellent recording artists. Both songs do rock music justice. I do prefer Howard's more melodic and piercing vocals, personally. However, anyone is entitled to their opinion, and I welcome all responses that aren't trollish or anything. Non-rant over.

      NO DOUBT bro he not only sounded like Ronnie but brought a certain RAGE and ANGER that only RJD I thought was capable of bringing to the mic, but I stand corrected HE NAILED this song and Ronnie would be so proud of this rendition that honors our LATE, GREAT LEGEND of METAL that was Mr. Ronnie James Dio and to those that can't give props to Keegan on the vocals obviously have not a clue as to what DIO was about or sounded like and this man STOOD HIS GROUND and fucking blew me away. I am still stunned as I just heard this yesterday and have burned up the headphones cranking it to Mach 10 trying to blast the speakers out as its the only way to really appreciate what a absolute masterful cover of RJD's legendary music. AWESOME COVER AND it might be easy to play the music to a song but when I heard the first lines come out of Keegans mouth I was floored out how great he sounded, this man was born to carry on the RAGE and PASSION that Ronnie brought to the table. 100% thumbs fucking UP!!!!!

      its a tribute to Dio. You're looking at it the wrong way, of course they cant be exactly like the original. That's why they put their own touches and flairs to it, to make the song their own. They did an excellent job turning a classic into modern metal. It's your opinion though, I respect that.
