Dio - "Mystery" (video)

Hey, can you hear me? Can you see?
There's a storm on the edge of the sky
Does it matter, well, it does to me
And I can tell you why

You know when there's thunder there should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule, no
And is the wise man always right?
No, he can play the fool

It's always a mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery, just like you and me
Always a mystery

We are lightning, we are flame
And we burn at the touch of a spark
When there's no fire, if no one sees
There is only the dark

Just imagine, will you try
I can see that you've opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear
But they always shine

It's always a mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery, just like you and me
Always a mystery

It's always a mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery, just like you and me
It's always a mystery, not what you want to see
It's always a mystery, just like you and me

Το 1982 ο Ronald James Padavona (κατά κόσμο Ronnie James Dio) μετά την εκδίωξή του από τους Black Sabbath αποφάσισε να φτιάξει το προσωπικό του σχήμα, τους Dio, έχοντας ως εφόδιο την αναγνωρισιμότητα και τις εμπειρίες που απέκτησε τόσο με τους B.S. όσο και με τους Rainbow.

Αν το "ντεμπούτο" ("Holy Diver") που κυκλοφόρησε το 1983 παρουσίασε την μπάντα στον κόσμο, το δεύτερο album των Dio καθιέρωσε το καινούριο σχήμα. Το "The Last in Line" (περί αυτού ο λόγος) κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιούλιο του 1984 κι "έβγαλε" τρία singles και ισάριθμα videos.

Ένα από αυτά ήταν και το "Mystery" (σύνθεση των Ronnie James Dio - Jimmy Bain) που "βγήκε" τον Σεπτέμβριο του ιδίου έτους, με τις "ζωντανές" εκτελέσεις των "Eat Your Heart Out" - "Don't Talk to Strangers" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου.
