Lord of the Last Day Lyrics

Cover art for Lord of the Last Day lyrics by Dio

"I love the night So many shadows Unholy light Putting out the spark Leave 'em in the dark - forever Ooh"

Sounds like a Satan figure; reminds me of "Lord of this World" by Black Sabbath. This entity wants to put out the spark of human lives forever.

"I can wait for you Your end is my life All lies are true Secrets of the heart And you can take them all - To heaven

I don't feel pain or sorrow The child's a man tomorrow Crossing the line - Then he's mine"

Patient like a spider, waiting for the child to become a man and cross the line of temptation into sin. "Then he's mine."

"Don't care which god you follow Whose promises you swallow Time and again We must meet at the end Aaah"

Whatever your belief system, if you choose to live for evil, you'll meet whoever this is in the end. Misery loves company, as they say.

Who is the "Lord of the last day?"

"He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day." John 12:48
