Stargazer
Blackmore / Dio Lyrics

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
It's midday and I'm so parched and desperate for water that I'd do anything to get it.

Nine years worth of breakin' my back
I've spent the last nine years working incredibly hard and straining my back.

There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
The wizard's influence is so strong that even the sun is obscured by his shadow.

See how he glides, why he's lighter than air
Look at the wizard moving so gracefully, it's almost like he's weightless.

Oh I see his face
I'm getting a clear picture of the wizard's face in my mind.

Where is your star?
I'm wondering where the wizard's star is, and where it will take us.

Is it far, is it far, is it far?
I'm anxious to know if the star is close by, or if we have a long journey ahead of us.

When do we leave?
I'm eager to set out on our journey to see the wizard.

I believe, yes, I believe
I have faith that our journey to see the wizard will not be in vain.

In the heat and the rain
We'll endure scorching heat and heavy rain on our journey.

With whips and chains
We'll be subjected to harsh treatment and punishment on our journey.

To see him fly
We're so eager to witness the wizard's magic and see him soar.

So many die
Many people have already lost their lives on this dangerous and difficult journey.

We build a tower of stone
We construct a massive stone tower that will take us up to the sky to see the wizard.

With our flesh and bone
We use our own bodies as materials to build the tower, even though it will be painful and exhausting.

Don't know why
Despite all the hardship and tragedy, we're not really sure why we're so determined to see the wizard.

Now where do we go?
We're lost and uncertain about our destination after having built the tower.

Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
A fast-moving, hot wind is blowing across the desert as we begin our journey.

We feel that our time has arrived
We believe that the time is right for us to embark on this journey to see the wizard.

The world spins, while we put his dream together
While we're working to construct the tower and achieve the wizard's vision, the rest of the world continues on without us.

Oh, I see his face!
Once again, I'm picturing the wizard's face very clearly.

Where is your star?
Our journey is driven by the wizard's mysterious star, which we're still searching for.

Is it far, is it far, far?
We're still unsure if the star is close by or if we have a long way to go to reach it.

Hey, I believe, I believe
I still have faith that we'll find the star and achieve the wizard's vision.

Too many die
The number of casualties on our journey continues to grow, and it's becoming harder to ignore.

But why
Despite all the death and hardship, we're still committed to seeing the wizard, but we're not even sure why anymore.

Look at my flesh and bone
I'm using my physical body to construct the tower for the wizard's vision.

Look at his tower of stone
The wizard's towering creation is an impressive and formidable sight.

I see a rainbow rising
The image of a rainbow gives us hope and optimism, even during our darkest moments.

Look there, on the horizon
We can see something promising or reassuring on the horizon, a sign of better things to come.

And I'm coming home, coming home, coming home
After this long and difficult journey, I'm looking forward to finally returning to my own home.

Time is standing still
Some part of our journey feels eternal and unchanging.

He gave back my will
The wizard has somehow restored my motivation and determination to keep going.

Going home
We're finally headed back to our own homes.

My eyes are bleeding
The strain and harsh conditions of our journey has left me battered and in pain.

And my heart is leaving here
At the same time, this difficult journey has also taught me to let go of certain things and move on.

A place called home
Home is a very important anchor and destination for us on this journey.

Take me back
I just want to go back to where I belong and forget this arduous journey.
