1. Dio was an American heavy metal band formed in 1982 and led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Dio left Black Sabbath with intentions to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice. The name Dio was chosen because it made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well known at that time. The band released ten studio albums and had numerous lineup changes over the years, with Dio himself being the only constant member. Guitarists included Vivian Campbell, Craig Goldy, Doug Aldrich, Warren DeMartini, Tracy G, Jake E. Lee and Rowan Robertson. The band dissolved in 2010 when Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer at the age of 67. Dio has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.

The Man Who Would Be King
Dio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To save us from the one's who don't believe
Confess me father I have sin but maybe
Angels really sing
Fot the man who would be king
We laugh at your religion
You people of the sand
You can read it in our hands
Forgive me father for the change we bring
But it's all for the man who would be king
Don't leave a body standing
Not the holy not the small
Deliver us from evil
If it's yours we want it all
Lately father I've been wondering
Is the devil just the man who would be king
How can right be ever wrong
We are glory we are stronger than you
We never got an answer
But it's just too late to ask
The bloody flag was waving
And our hearts just ran too fast
Curse me father for the chains we bring
And don't believe the man who would be king
We never got an answer
Cause the question slipped my mind
I've been so busy killing
That I haven't found the right time
The lyrics of Dio's song "The Man Who Would Be King" portray an individual seeking redemption and forgiveness for the actions they took in the name of religion. The song speaks to the concept of power and how it can corrupt even those with good intentions. The singer of the song acknowledges that they have sinned by killing those who do not believe in their religion but also believe that they are saving their people. The line "confess me father I have sin but maybe angels really sing for the man who would be king" shows that they are aware of their wrongdoing but hope that their actions are justified.
The song also highlights the divide between different religious beliefs and how they can lead to violence and conflict. The line "we laugh at your religion, you people of the sand" shows the contempt that the singer has for those who do not share their beliefs. The use of the phrase "deliver us from evil, if it's yours we want it all" is a stark reminder that religion can also be a tool for greed and conquest.
The lyrics of "The Man Who Would Be King" remind listeners that power, religion, and violence are often intertwined and that the pursuit of power can lead to moral compromises. The song challenges individuals to question their own beliefs and actions and to strive for a better understanding of others.

So sad that phenomenal music like this only has 20k views. Dio may easily be my favorite vocalist, on voice alone, not even considering the actual content in his songs. No one sings about these type of things. Its too scary or weird. Dio went there and slaughtered it.
Mike Jones
Love dio to pieces my god he fucking rocks
Lin Dell
