The middle of the song, based on live performance, is:
Die Young, Die Young/
Can't you see/hear (depending on Ronnie's mood that evening) the writing in the air/
Die young, gonna, die young/
someone stopped the fair...
I think that this song actually advocates a more cautious lifestyle. It suggests the fruitless ending of living your life to an extreme and disregarding the furture:
"Behind the smile, there's danger and a promise to be told:
You'll never get old - ha!
Life's fantasy - to be locked away and still to think you're free,
You're free, we're free"
-These lines, along with Dio's tone, suggest that the we don't understand the nature of our existence and all of the possibilities/opportunities that we have. We trap ourselves (to be locked away) in a vision of ourselves being young and indestrutable (and still to think you're free).
