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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin you do will be new, 'cause I'm through
Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right
Call me the Devil, it's true
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name
'Cause it's Voodoo, oh!
Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn
So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes
'Cause he's Voodoo!
Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin you do will be new, 'cause I'm through
Voodoo!
Bring me your children, they'll burn!
Never look back, never turn!
Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo!!
The lyrics to Dio's song "Voodoo" depict a seemingly supernatural force of evil that warns against those who dare to defy it. The song is written from the perspective of this unnamed entity, who condemns those who attempt to resist its power. The opening lines of the song make it clear that those who reject this force will suffer; they will "burn." The entity goes on to explain that it will not be deterred, and will ultimately triumph over those who oppose it.
The second half of the song describes the after-effects of being overtaken by this force. Those who are "burned" will fade into shadow, and their fortune will be "free," but ultimately of no use. Any attempt to turn back will be futile; the entity claims that those who stand in its way will be destroyed. The song ends with the repeated cry of "Voodoo," emphasizing the power of the force and the inevitability of its triumph.
Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of succumbing to temptation and allowing oneself to be guided by dark forces. The entity represents the consequences of giving in to these urges, and serves as a reminder to resist them.
