    When there's lightning
    You know it always brings me down
    'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
    Who's lost and never found
    I cry out for magic
    I feel it dancing in the light
    It went cold, lost my hold
    To the shadows of the night
    No sign of the morning coming
    You've been left on your own
    Like a rainbow in the dark
    A rainbow in the dark
    Do your demons
    Do they ever let you go?
    When you've tried, do they hide deep inside?
    Is it someone that you know?
    You're just a picture
    You're an image caught in time
    We're a lie, you and I
    We're words without a rhyme
    There's no sign of the morning coming
    You've been left on your own
    Like a rainbow in the dark
    Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah
    When I see lightning
    You know it always brings me down
    'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
    Who's lost and never found
    Feel the magic
    I feel it floating in the air
    But it's fear and you'll hear it calling you
    Beware, look out
    There's no sight of the morning coming
    There's no sign of the day
    You've been left on your own
    Like a rainbow, like a rainbow in the dark
    Yeah, yeah, you're a rainbow in the dark
    Just a rainbow in the dark
    No sign of the morning
    You're a rainbow in the dark
    Woah

Great work!! (Also, how fucking sick was that alternate but completely fitting solo???)

  • @christopherberry8519
    @christopherberry8519 Рік тому +5

    It takes Erik for people to remember that some awesome metal was created in the 80s but 40 years later he makes it so polished and fresh that it's even better with today's technology and, dare I say it, a voice Dio would approve of.
    Well done for carrying the flame.

    Holy shit bro! I've been a mega fan of yours and H.E.A.T. since day one and I dream of having a voice like yours. Now DIO is one of my all time favs and has been since i was a child-I'm 39 now. I'm always very critical of covers of his and Bryan Adams-my other all time fav since I was 4 and I totally enjoyed this cover-probably one of the best ever of DIO (other one would have to be Jorn's cover of Stand Up and Shout). You were able to pay complete homage to Dio while also being yourself and that gave us a perfect blend of both instead of someone just trying to sound like someone else. Great job-hope it is on Spotify soon so I can jam it on the way to work!
