    LYRICS
    Yeah, yeah
    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
    (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 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 - yeah!
    Holy Diver
    You're the star of the masquerade
    No need to look so afraid
    Jump, Jump
    Jump on the tiger
    You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
    Some light can never be seen - yeah!
    (Holy Diver...)
    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 (get away!)
    Gotta get away, get away - yeah, 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 (Holy Diver)
    Get away, get away, get away - come on!

      They didn't keep the solo the same at all, but they made callbacks to it. The opening lick is probably the most recognizable callback, but you can hear the two solos go in completely different directions after that lick.

    Okay don't get me wrong, Jesse Leach is a great singer too and I know that he was the original lead singer of Killswitch Engage. But there's just something about Howard that made the band sound unique and different from most typical rock bands and he's the reason I've recently got into this band in the first. The man is a beast with those powerful vocals and the fact that he did a cover of a Dio song of all things and absolutely nailed it proves it.

    Last summer me and my friend met Howard (very very quickly) I wouldn’t even really call it meeting him. But after his gig with Light The Torch, We ran outside to the tour bus to see if we could say hello, and sure enough there was Howard. We said a couple quick words and said it was an amazing show! And he acknowledged us and said thanks for coming out to the show! Then he jumped on his bus, and took off. It probably didn’t mean anything to him, but to us it meant the world. Being life long fans of his work, it was a very special moment. He’s the best!
