Heaven and Hell

This is Ronnie James Dio's most proud song. This is undoubtedly the most famous Dio era song by Black Sabbath, when Dio works with the band, he plays at almost every concert.

Dio said the lyrics are about the way we followed. Is that the way to heaven or the way to hell? He sang that song was written for religious people and they forced you to do things and you made everything feel evil. This song should tell you to choose your own path. And it will make you a good person.

Ronnie James Dio says in 2003 editor's note of "Stand Up And And Shout: The Anthology" as follows.

"You will never write songs and say, I just wrote an epic because it is not what you want to judge.This is for people.They are right "Heaven and Hell" (1980) is just a wonderful album, it is usually the first project you worked with a new musician, the result proved to be the best Tony and I have real magic to continue this studio.

With the replay of the 2010 Deluxe version of the "Heaven and Hell" liner notes, Ronnie James Dior said:

"I always wanted to write a song called" Heaven and Hell ", and I stated my idea that the earth could be a good place and a bad place - your life is up to you. [...] Lyrics That is the truth: The world is full of kings and queen, they blink and steal your dreams. Life is full of instability. "

Many smart people have seen this. Shakespeare wrote: "Because there is neither good nor bad, thinking is like this" John Milton also said, "The mind is its own place, it is a paradise of hell, it is a paradise of heaven, hell of heaven "But" The most dramatic example is Victor Frankel, "he said. "Everything is made up of one thing: The end of human freedom - Choosing the attitude of a person in a specific environment, Choosing your own way" The special thing about the last sentence is that Frankel is the man in the Nazi concentration camp Experience and the unimaginable pain he encountered, but he advocates the idea that, whatever happens, you will influence your thoughts and reactions , The power of doing so is to define the fundamental qualities of human beings.

Some people want to know whether heaven or hell exists. I am not sure about heaven but I hope hell is genuine. why? Well, some people need hell because they created it. About a month ago, an invasion occurred on my island. The elderly retired pastor (87 years old) was tied to a plastic tie and thrown to the bedroom floor. He was discovered for at least three days. Please imagine the fears, hunger, thirst, discomfort lying there. When Sunday morning he did not show up in the service of the church outside the island, someone in the church was called a priest of our local bishop and they went to his house to find him. Air transported to the tertiary hospital, he spent the following month at the ICU, eventually lost his hand, maybe second - hand gangrene. However, the bed sores ultimately cause sepsis, he is dead. - This terrible invasion and cruel treatment after 4 weeks. 87 years old

To condemn the cruelty of the age of darkness - Remembering cruelty is the famous word of Voltaire - it does not disappear for material progress. Regardless of the existence of the afterlife, this world is full of countless heaven and hell. The world without the concept of heaven and hell may be a postmodern flat without mental depth (the term commonly used by Ken Wilbur). Furthermore, unfortunately, the God of the Bible and its stories are constantly bothering us - despite the scientific revolution, people are more devout than ever.
