KILLSWITCH ENGAGE

- Holy Diver 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
Yeah!

Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Look out!

Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh, we will pray it's alright

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
Yeah!

Holy diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump down!

Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
Yeah!

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh, what's becoming of me?
No, yeah!

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
Get away
Gotta get away
Get away
Yeah!

Holy diver
Sole survivor
Your heart is clean
Yeah, holy diver
(Holy diver)
Holy diver
(Holy diver)

You're caught in the middle coming after you, holy diver

Oh, holy diver
Get away
Get away
Get away
Come on!

I like their version better than Dio's version... sorry... love Dio's version (which, duh, is the original... i'm pretty sure) but I like Killswitch Engage's version better :)
