Man On The Silver Mountain Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
"Man on the Silver Mountain" is the debut single by Rainbow and the first track of their debut album, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, written by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and vocalist Ronnie James Dio.
After Dio's death, Rob Halford performed a cover of the song and said it "captures the things I personally love in metal tracks".
In a 1975 radio special with RJD & R. Blackmore, Ronnie explains this song -
"It is kind of a semi religious song in the respect that the man on the silver mountain is the kind of god figure that everyone is crying out to come and save them ".
Ronnie weaved such great words that it meant something and left room for your imagination to fill in the rest.

I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel I can roll I can feel
And you can't stop me turnin'
'Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun I can move I can run
But you'll never stop me burnin'
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the day, I'm the day I can show you the way
And look I'm right beside you
I'm the night, I'm the night I'm the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screamin' my name
Come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Come down with fire
And lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Well I can help you, you know I can
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man give you my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Coming down with fire
I'll lift your spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain
The man on the silver mountain
I'm the night, the light the black and the white
The man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
