"Rock N' Roll Children" as written by and Dio....
It was starting to rain
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another
Then they were thrown to the ground
With a terrible sound
Just like somebody broke a heart
Rock 'n' roll children
Alone again
Rock 'n' roll children
Without a friend
But they got rock 'n' roll
It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye
They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
On rock 'n' roll children
Alone again
Rock 'n' roll children
Without a friend
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another
Then they were thrown to the ground
With a terrible sound
Just like somebody broke a heart
Rock 'n' roll children
Alone again
Rock 'n' roll children
Without a friend
But they got rock 'n' roll
It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye
They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
On rock 'n' roll children
Alone again
Rock 'n' roll children
Without a friend

It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
it was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye
*They ran away and are saying goodbye,because they know they can't be together,and when they are being taken away from each other they are screaming goodbye
They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
*Once they no longer knew each other they could never be happy again
On Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend
*same as before,can't be happy anymore
They say love transcends all boundaries, and it can be found in the strangest of combinations, such as, say, a Christian and an athiest who are both willing to recognize that in spite of their differences they can both still be together.
Rock N Roll Music was originally brought about by mixing two main types (Country/Mountain/Folk) and (Blues/Soul/Gospel). Without getting too much into the backgrounds, it can be said that Rock N Roll was a fusion of God's Music and the Devil's, which is why it makes sense the subjects of the story are called "Rock N Roll Children."
I like to intepret these lines as follows:
"They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door"
as the two children consummating their love by committing suicide together, thus "never returning," a lot like Romeo and Juliet. The slamming of the door could be the closing of the door to Eternity after it's been shut behind their backs (i.e. after they both die)
during the crusades, they figured hey, the enemy won't hurt children...so they all sent their kids off to go and fight. but they all drowned and shit.
okay...nerdy time over...
great song.
