Tagline: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Conversely, if at first you don’t succeed, hide all the evidence you’ve tried.

We are the innocent,
We are the damned...
We were caught in the middle of the madness
Hunted by the lion and the lamb.
We bring you fantasy,
We bring you pain...
It's your one great chance for a miracle –
Or we will disappear,
Never to be seen again...
~ Dio, ©1987
