this song is about christ like figure but not where you would really expect it. Ronnie James dio said it himself in a interview on the Metal : a headbanger's journey double dvds set. It's not a violent song.
On the album you can see a priest who is bond in chain about t drown and you can see a monster holding a broken piece of chain sugesting that he killed the priest. But who is to say that the moster is not a priest and the priest is not a monster. The song Holy diver had been banned after the 9/11 event because it was deemed to be inapropriate to sing at the time. It was also saw as a violent song.Which really pissed off dio.
