Dio: Master Of The Moon
8. I Am
I think I'm through with just pretending
Knocking at the door that I've been through before
Congratulations, at last you've seen my light
Now it's you against the night
I think I'm never coming after, after all
Now I've become the cat who always lets you know that
I am, I am, stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am, stronger without you
I am
Dio: Strange Highways
9. Blood from a stone
Oh, you've been surprised again
Pulled like a leaf to the waterfall
Everybody's just pretending
I thought that you'd learn by now
