“Neon Knights” is a song by heavy metal band Black Sabbath from their 1980 album, Heaven and Hell. It is the opening track on Heaven and Hell, Black Sabbath’s first album with American vocalist Ronnie James Dio.
The lyrics were written by Dio. The song was the last on the album to be written, and is the only song on the album to definitely feature input from bassist Geezer Butler, (the band’s main lyricist during the Ozzy Osbourne era), who was absent for most of the songwriting process on the album due to his own uncertainty as to whether he wanted to remain in the band.
The song was a constant live during the Dio-years, (opening after E5I50) and was performed often by many of the band’s following vocalists. Heaven & Hell used the song as an encore.
