lyrics are written from the standpoint of a "slave in Egyptian times",. They relate the story of the Wizard, an astronomer who becomes "obsessed with the idea of flying" and enslaves a vast army of people to build him a tower from which he can take off and fly ] The people hope for the day when their misery comes to an end, building the tower in harsh conditions ("In the heat and rain, with whips and chains; / to see him fly, so many died"). In the end, the wizard climbs to the top of the tower but, instead of flying, falls down and dies: "no sound as he falls instead of rising. / Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand". The next song, "A Light in the Black", continues the story of the people who have lost all purpose after the Wizard's death "until they see the Light in the Dark",
This song is just pure gold, one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The music is beautiful, the lyrics are amazing and deep, Richie Blackmore's guitar solo is nerve-shattering, and Ronnie James Dio's godly vocals just grab your soul and take it to another place. One of Rainbow's best songs, if not their best.
You said it: I have been wondering why I can’t stop listening this song. Ronnie James Dio’s voice has grabbed my soul to another place and I don’t wanna come back. I rather stay here with him. Pure magic. The whole building of this performing.
I've heard this song a thousand times and I'm still amazed how incredible RJD's voice sounds. As far as I'm concerned this is the most outstanding work of his career. I literally get lost in this song every time I hear it. Tremendous job Ronnie, Rest In Peace my friend, your legacy will live on forever.
One of the main reasons I think most people cant even come close to replicating the greatness of Ronnie James Dio's voice is because of the amount of passion he puts into his singing.
That middle riff and the overall fantasy epic feel of it is just incredible. It really tells a story without the words, of a struggle of the ultimate kind.
Hearing Ronnie sing Rainbow's "Stargazer", is definitely one of the greatest moment y Metal and Rock music history. Specially the closing section where he goes "My eyes are bleeding"... holly f*ck! No matter how many times I hear it, for how many more years, that still gives me chills all over and makes me fall on my knees crying blood and thank God for lending us Ronnie James Dio and letting me be here on this Earth during the time he spent here. Long live The Voice of Heavy Metal! 🤘🤘🤘
Same The eyes are bleeding 🩸 sends you That and the guitar solo What I love is soooo many people don’t know this rock song so I tell them do u know the theme tune to top gear? Then they know lol
6:03 Starting here, I become overwhelmed n almost suffocated. It's so powerful n pushing-forward that there's no time to rest. He was truly genius. Truly a stargazer who was already a star
a Diamond Song a Miracle from God a Holly Song May that song bless the Whole Humanity Must be studird at school Never song were ever performed with luxurious talent as Rainbow Rising We kneel down at it with resprct listen at it religiously Amen
For me this song is about the illusion of material achievement. When you get that achievement, it is not what you thought, and never, ever enough. Such a profound song..
I just knew about this song while my teenage son was listening to it...well..I was shocked, great, deep and epic melody and now I am here to sing the lyrics. I'm shivering and I am almost crying! So intense feeling!
Almost the same happenend to me... I was driving my car to school, where I was working (2010), when I listened the news about Dio's death. I hit the wheel I said: "No! No! Why?" I cried too. The guitar solo is great!

A P don't need to forget, just simply not as good as Rainbow, maybe Zepp is too fancy for down to earth folks...like would I ever exchange my Goulash that I cooked for a 5* restaurant meal?
Greatest song about fatalities on work ever. It's so sad, if you actually break down the words. But why In all the rain With all the chains Did so many die Just to see him fly Look at my flesh and bone Now, look, look, look, look, Look at his tower of stone I see a rainbow rising Look there, on the horizon And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
+giuseppe bruni I Never imagined these lyrics talking about work fatalities. In fact I never really understood the lyrics, and I still not understanding.
I'm 57 no words to say it's 2022 simply one of the greatest songs of all time Ritchie Blackmores rainbow rising album with Ronnie James Dio after his many break ups and fueds with deep purple rainbows first 3 album's are the greatest in rock and roll history yet many don't know that
yes is FINALLY in the hall of fame, or is going to be very soon, so that's giving you another reference to the things that should get recognition not getting it, heck even now yes is mainly remembered for roundabout and owner of a lonely heart (i dont even like the latter anywhere near their other songs and they have to play it to be recognized) they've been around since like the late 60's if i remember correctly and still around, and of course like just about every good artist and song nowadays it gets burried under a pile of crap, the songs that a radio station purchased and wont change ever, and songs by media celebrities that aren't even that good.
"Im going home and my eyes are bleeding" Goddamn Dio. You rock in heaven now. I hope you have the best band in there. Rest in peace legend!!🤘🏻 (and also say hi to Cliff Burton for me)
When Keyboards and synthesizers were used so tastefully... They were part of the Band not just to make a thunder sound or a... nm In anycase, this is not about the Tower of Babble, which they still use to divide us to this day. I feel this song is based on what DIO taught me through so many years. Follow your Dreams, anything is possible, just always hold onto your Dreams and you can make them come true. Where as this song is about society , whether enslaved or blindly following someone else. They build their Dream on the backs of the bruised and empty promises to the point that it's not until the Wizard Dies, that they wish they had followed their own dreams. That is politics these days, religious extremists, corporations (fired before you retired). So many ways to look at it. But originally to me... it was a man who believed in this Wizards Dream to touch the Heavens and Fly. Then Everyone would be able to climb the Tower and touch the sky. Year after year season after season working in the worst conditions believing in someone else's Dream... Believing and sacrificing everything for this one goal... And this being 2000 B.C. or 4000 B.C. or? I'm sure many a person believed that you could build a tower and reach the Heavens.. When I was in High school in the 80s and we were taught of the Pyramids and such. People enslaved, believers, captured armies etc. Building these towers of Stone ... To Touch the clouds, The Heavens, The Face of God..... Or even The Flight of Icarus.... DIO was great at warning us of following false idols. DIO wanted us to follow our own Dreams... And if your going to follow someone else , beware.... So many people are out their to steal your Dreams, to Entice you into following them, as Sirens have done since Time Memorial.. signing to the sailor to crash their ships upon the Rocky shore... I have to go now, just a few more stones in the spire. I think we are almost there... You should all come join us. You have to meet this guy err umm Wizard.. He is Amazing , just come meet him, he will talk you into joining us , He will LET YOU help us build the Tower, then we shall all fly.. I better get off the Phone. WE just have a little higher to go! \m/
I thought I had favorite Rainbow and Sabbath Dio vocals before, but this one just eclipsed them. Who are the 53 nudnicks who gave a thumbsdown to this classic. Imagine if Ronnie James Dio and Grace Slick had done a few songs together. The mind reels.
To create a masterpiece the artist(s) must have all the elements come together in a single moment that is over and above mere excellence. This is a masterpiece.
the tower card of the tarot,is what that music is about,you think you know what youre doing,no sun in the shadow of the wizard,put the others down,forgeting to be humble,and than you fall by a divine force,but just the top of the tower falls,because of that theres a rainbow rising,you have to star all over again...
@@rambleon1182 im a mere 39 in comparison but was brought up with all rock as my dad played bass and lead guitar in both his bands He also wrote all music and lyrics so all my memories of him being a kid was his band mates jamming and recording in our house I loved it
The only problem with this song is that it’s not three days long
Jerry Flash Atey Agreed, eight minutes are way too short!
wish it had an hour version like Enigma's Sadness.
Yes I agree with you
Agree!
Agree
I would just leave it in replay for hours at a time. I would like to hear joey tempest cover this song even Dio is super on it.
lyrics are written from the standpoint of a "slave in Egyptian times",. They relate the story of the Wizard, an astronomer who becomes "obsessed with the idea of flying" and enslaves a vast army of people to build him a tower from which he can take off and fly ] The people hope for the day when their misery comes to an end, building the tower in harsh conditions ("In the heat and rain, with whips and chains; / to see him fly, so many died").

This was always one of my favorite rock albums....I never knew the backstory. Thanks for the info.
This is funny coz a lot of Egyptians love Dio although I am sure many of them didn't know about that story including myself.
It reminds me a tale of Conan, when mad King Akhirom believes himself a god, jumps from a tower and falls to the ground.
i always thought it was set in babylon, but i guess egypt fits the story just as well
Brian Hadley and people say dio doesn't make sense lyrically. idiots
One of the least known and best songs in all of Metal. Perhaps of any genre. Just perfect, I could listen for hours.
Frank Johnson I am listening since the seventies and still can't get enough of it
So true This song is my feavery...dääm..
I listen to it everyday. Never gets old. I’m sure my wife is tired of it lol
This is one of the best songs in Human history...
Frank Johnson, your statement is ridiculous, one of the best known tracks in metal.
This song is just pure gold, one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The music is beautiful, the lyrics are amazing and deep, Richie Blackmore's guitar solo is nerve-shattering, and Ronnie James Dio's godly vocals just grab your soul and take it to another place. One of Rainbow's best songs, if not their best.
Agreed, not my favorite band bust made some awesome music, this is epic, in the truest sense - best ending to a song ever, takes over two minutes
Rip dio one of the best heavy metal singers in history !
You said it: I have been wondering why I can’t stop listening this song. Ronnie James Dio’s voice has grabbed my soul to another place and I don’t wanna come back. I rather stay here with him. Pure magic. The whole building of this performing.
The Best with A light in the black and Catch the rainbow
Ronnie made this song with his great voice as what it is, a great masterpiece. Ronnie forever ❤
"My eyes are bleeding"...this is classic Ronnie. We miss you, buddy. You are the God of Metal.
I've heard this song a thousand times and I'm still amazed how incredible RJD's voice sounds. As far as I'm concerned this is the most outstanding work of his career. I literally get lost in this song every time I hear it. Tremendous job Ronnie, Rest In Peace my friend, your legacy will live on forever.
One of the main reasons I think most people cant even come close to replicating the greatness of Ronnie James Dio's voice is because of the amount of passion he puts into his singing.
Dio and Klaus Meine are indentical in every aspect!
*put
I see a rainbow rising!!!! Chills every time!!
And that flawless Ritchie Blackmore guitar..... awesome!!!!!
Guitar solo depicts climbing the tower, up up up then teetering on the edge, then down he goes, splat! genius.
+GelderdBorn i like that image
GelderdBorn || Listen again. Right before he falls, you can hear the slaves cheering.
GelderdBorn listen at 5:03 "YEAH!! YEAH!!! YYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHH - Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …!"
Love it Diane!
That middle riff and the overall fantasy epic feel of it is just incredible. It really tells a story without the words, of a struggle of the ultimate kind.
this is part 1 of 2 , light in the black is the other half
At 3:23, starts one of the most epic guitar solos I've ever heard/listened in Rock History. Long Live Ritchie Blackmore...
Perfect musical expression of building a massive tower to stars and falling to your doom...
Pharaoh is crying for repentance after listening this solo .
Hearing Ronnie sing Rainbow's "Stargazer", is definitely one of the greatest moment y Metal and Rock music history. Specially the closing section where he goes "My eyes are bleeding"... holly f*ck! No matter how many times I hear it, for how many more years, that still gives me chills all over and makes me fall on my knees crying blood and thank God for lending us Ronnie James Dio and letting me be here on this Earth during the time he spent here. Long live The Voice of Heavy Metal! 🤘🤘🤘
It's the greatest moment and of hard rock. Cozy, Ritchie and Ronnie are incredible.
Same
The eyes are bleeding 🩸 sends you
That and the guitar solo
What I love is soooo many people don’t know this rock song so I tell them do u know the theme tune to top gear?
Then they know lol
6:03 Starting here, I become overwhelmed n almost suffocated. It's so powerful n pushing-forward that there's no time to rest. He was truly genius. Truly a stargazer who was already a star
this is my stairway to heaven !!
david cohorn well put, man! Though Heaven is great my soul just dose'nt grieve for it, don't know why.
david cohorn same here!
@@gusmarokity6482 Это русский друг, который помнит и знает что есть лестница в небо.
The world over heaven 😏
Why am I just now finding this awesome song?!!! I feel like I've been deprived!
Me too lol
Never too late! just spread the good word...
'I wish I'd known, but it's not home' 🤘🤘
40 years old and EPIC as ever!
Indeed sir! Indeed!!!!
Gary G Agreed, and if you consider its members this band consist of that make it the best rock band of forever!
Gary G 40 years & still fantastic today. Genius!!
Perfect Metal Song Ever
When people ask me why I am unimpressed with modern rock music, this is my response.
The amazing Cozy Powell on drums.
I've got goosebumps everytime I listen to this masterpiece.... EVERY FUCKIN' TIME... no joke here guys
This is a masterpiece...
a Diamond Song
a Miracle from God
a Holly Song
May that song bless the Whole Humanity
Must be studird at school
Never song were ever performed
with luxurious talent as
Rainbow Rising
We kneel down at it with resprct
listen at it religiously
Amen
Not only humanity as we know it but all of intelligent life of this universe and any other that ever will come forth...
The classic of all classic, from the drum intro to Ronnies lyrics to Ritchies guitar, probaby the greatest song ever
One hell of a song .. up there with stairway to heaven ... Both are masterpieces
For me this song is about the illusion of material achievement. When you get that achievement, it is not what you thought, and never, ever enough. Such a profound song..
Behold, Ozymandias!
His. Voice is just so strong confident. Even now a days cant find a voice like this.
the best song ever performed
full of learning
never trust the wizard!
I just knew about this song while my teenage son was listening to it...well..I was shocked, great, deep and epic melody and now I am here to sing the lyrics. I'm shivering and I am almost crying! So intense feeling!
A beautiful Masterpiece
a flood of light to brighten up everyone's Soul
The sweetest part of music start at 1.52 " in the heat and the rain
with whips and chains just to see him fly too many die "
a great performance
An outstandingly beautiful song! Just gorgeous in many ways, i feel it in my soul!
I heard about Dio's death driving car at job day on the radio and they played this song... Could not resist my tears...
Almost the same happenend to me... I was driving my car to school, where I was working (2010), when I listened the news about Dio's death. I hit the wheel I said: "No! No! Why?" I cried too. The guitar solo is great!
Pure singer!

Album: The Very Best of Rainbow
[Verse One: Rainbow]
High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?
Oh, I see his face
[Hook: Rainbow]
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe
[Chorus: Rainbow]
In the heat and the reign
With whips and chains
To see (2c) him fly
So many died
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?
[Verse Two: Rainbow]
Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh, I see his face
[Hook: Rainbow]
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
Hey, I believe, I believe
[Chorus: Rainbow]
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many died
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go
[Verse Three: Rainbow]
All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
Oh, I see his face
[Hook: Rainbow]
Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far?
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed
[Chorus: Rainbow]
In heat and rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look
Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Time is standing still
He gave back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
Wish I'd known
Wish I'm home
Ooh
[Outro: Rainbow]
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
Wish I'd known
Wish I'm home
Ooh
Ooh
Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh

Greatest song about fatalities on work ever. It's so sad, if you actually break down the words.
But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone

Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
+giuseppe bruni Never thought of it like that before, but now that you mention it, it does sound like its about the plight of the working class.

one ot the most underated rock bands of all time,IN THE heat and rain.
Yeah lots of so-called Dio fans don't know about Rainbow.
Crimson_Ghost then they must not be Dio fans, a real dio fan is a 100% Rainbow fan I think
one of my favorites from the late great Ronnie!!!
Same here
I'm 57 no words to say it's 2022 simply one of the greatest songs of all time Ritchie Blackmores rainbow rising album with Ronnie James Dio after his many break ups and fueds with deep purple rainbows first 3 album's are the greatest in rock and roll history yet many don't know that
My favorite album when I was 16..

Une voix hors du commun et reconnaissable entre tous RIP Ronnie
There will forever be one rule when it comes to Ronnie James Dio's music; Always turn it up as loud as it will go, so loud it'll be heard for miles
Ronnie James Dio couldn't agree more!
1976: Wow, this song is really good!

I will always love you Ronnie. Forever and ever.
To quite waldo Emerson.... almost at least a little bit! When l hear this ! l I wish life was three thousand years long!!!

To create a masterpiece the artist(s) must have all the elements come together in a single moment that is over and above mere excellence. This is a masterpiece.

Gary G. Tat 2 years ago in incorrect! Jimmy died reasently
i feel like rock songs that start with “star” or contain the word star always seem to be amazing
Stargazer,
Starless,
Highway Star,
Starway to heaven
Star platinum
I love this song since I was young...I feel like my heart beating with this melody..my god how I want to explain it..
Ronnie - greatest lyricist ever
Ronnie James Dio was second to none an absolutely perfect voice with incredible range
This song should never end... masterpiece
