Double the pain

Heaven & hell:"Double the pain", (fra albummet "The devil you know", 2009):

A STAR IN THE BACK
IS WORTH WAITING FOR
TONIGHT
HE´S SEEN ENOUGH JOY
FOR TODAY

A sudden attack
Would just start the
evening right
And maybe a penance to pay

Thunder and lightning
Electric machines
These are the devils
That shout in his dreams

Games of the heart
Not fair and you can´t win
But torture and anger
can play
You´ve never said no
To just another spin
And losing is one step away

Friendly confusion
Like nothing you´ve seen
These are the demons
That shout in his dreams

A slap in the face
To bring him back around
It´s a touch-like cool
morning rain

He´s fallen from grace
And slammed to the ground
And begs for some more of
the same

Thunder and lightning
Eccentric machines
These are the devils
That shout in his dreams

Double the pain
I´m sure I saw him smile
Double the pain
Let´s kick him for a while
Double the pain

(tekst: Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi & Geezer Butler)

(Det var en sorgens dag d. 16. maj sidste år, da den legendariske heavy metal-sanger Ronnie James Dio døde af mave-kræft i en alder af 67 år. Jeg tror, at uanset hvor meget man kigger tilbage i fortiden, vil man aldrig nogensinde finde en forsanger inden for heavy metal-genren, som bare tilnærmelsesvis besidder Dio´s kvaliteter....HAN VAR GANSKE ENKELT UNIK! I 2009 udgav han og Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler og Vinny Appice albummet "The devil you know" under banneret Heaven & hell, men i virkeligheden var der tale om endnu en fantastisk Black Sabbath-udgivelse...."The devil you know" er et meget flot punktum på Dio´s flotte karriere inden for heavy metal, og "Double the pain" er en vidunderlig sang, som jeg næppe nogensinde glemmer :-)).
