Acctually its a story about a wizard who thinks by enslaving people and making thme build him a massive tower he will be able to reach what he thinks is an all powerfull star... And although A light in the black does sound like a continuation according to Mr. Blackmore and Mr. Dio its not....
@Neil_J Apparently, A light in the black is a continuation, and that Dio actually did confirm it. This is the start of the song:
"Can't forget his face, What a lonely place, Has he really let us go?
All the time that's lost, What's the final cost, Will I really get away?
All my life it seems, Just a crazy dream, Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, Did he really fall, What to do now I don't know"

It seems to me that the person who's perspective the song is written from is a traumatized slave who helped build the tower, then spent their life feeling lost, doubting everything that's happened.
And then the end:
"I've got my way back home, To the sky, There in the sky, I see your star"
This seems that the slave has returned to the tower, and sees the star the "wizard" was trying to reach. Both songs fit very well. However, music is always interpreted in different ways to different people. It could be that A light in the black was never meant to be a continuation.
