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

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

To be honest, this is by far the most badass song I've ever heard.

I just love how Araki just didn't base the character on the bands but the lyrics of the song. That's genius.

[gigachadcooper]

Since Dio means God in Italian, that makes him holy, and what does that make him when he sunk in a coffin at the bottom of the sea? A holy diver.

[TNTspaz]

Araki has legit the best taste of music on the planet.

[nikhilchandra]

The amount of great music I found through Araki is pretty surprising . Dude's entire manga is just a fire playlist.

[hoangvinhnguyen]

This song hit so hard that it feels like a punch through the stomach.

[JacF]

I've just realized that the man in chains is a priest...
Araki, how far ahead did you plan this?

[edsuplaysdaora]

this song: *EXIST*



araki: A GOOD ONE FOR MY COLLECTION
