Текст песни Ronnie James DIO — Holy Diver
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
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

Краткое описание
Песня «Holy Diver» Ронни Джеймса Дио (1983) раскрывает метафорический образ, сравнивая его с Иисусом Христом, как предсказателем, принесяшим себя в жертву за грехи других. Текст отражает идею использования собственной силы, не судя других, символизируя это через тигра. Строки «Ride the tiger. You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean» подчеркивают, что человек должен использовать свою силу, несмотря на моральные аспекты. Песня о восхождении и уходе от прошлых ошибок, где «Holy Diver» представлен как звезда маскарада, не имеющая повода бояться. Текст также утверждает, что истина крепка, и жизнь — это бесконечное вращение колеса.
