Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (5:42)
You see right through distorted eyes, you know you had to learn,
The execution of your mind, you really had to turn.
The race is run, the book is read, the end begins to show.
The truth is out, the lies are old, but you don't want to know.
Nobody will ever let you know,
When you ask the reasons why.
They just tell you that you're on your own,
Fill your head all full of lies.
The people who have crippled you, you wanna see them burn.
The gates of life have closed on you and there's just no return.
You're wishing that the hands of doom could take your mind away.
And you don't care if you don't see again the light of day.
Nobody will ever let you know,
When you ask the reasons why.
They just tell you that you're on your own,
Fill your head all full of lies.
You bastards!
Where can you run to? What more can you do?
No more tomorrow; life is killing you.
Dreams turn to nightmares, heaven turns to hell.
Burns out confusion, nothing more to tell.
Yeah.
Ev'rything around you, what's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows; (bog/god) blast all of you.
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, nothing more to do.
Living just for dying, dying just for you
Yeah.
A National Acrobat (6:16)
I am the world that hides the universal secret of all time.
Destruction of the empty spaces is my one and only crime.
I've lived a thousand times, I found out what it means to be believe.
The thoughts and images, the unborn child that never was conceived.
When little worlds collide I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell.
And flashing memories are cast into the never ending well-hell.
The name that scorns the face, the child that never sees the cause of man.
The deathly darkness that belies the fate of those who never ran.
You gotta believe me,
I'm talking to you.
Well, I know its hard for you to know the reason why.
And I know you'll understand more when it's time to die.
Don't believe the life you have will be the only one.
You have to let your body sleep to let your soul live on.
I want you to listen,
I'm try'n' ta get through.
Love has given life to you and now it's your concern.
Unseen eye of inner light will make your soul return.
Still I look but not to touch the seeds of life are sown.
Curtain of the future falls, the secret stays unknown.
Just remember love is life, and hate is living death.
Treat your life for what it's worth and live for ev'ry breath.
Looking back I've lived and learned, But (lc)still (rc)now I'm wondering.
Here I wait and only guess what this next life will bring.
Ha Ha!
Fluff (4:10)
Instrumental
Sabbra Cadabra (5:55)
Feel so good I feel so fine,
Love that little lady always on my mind
She gives me lovin' ev'ry night and day
Never gonna leave her, never goin' away
Someone to love me,
You know she makes me feel all right
Someone to need me,
Love me ev'ry single night
Feel so happy since I met that girl,
When we're making love
it's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Going to love that woman 'till the end of time
Someone to live for,
Love me 'till the end of time
Makes me feel happy,
Good to know that she's all mine
Lovely lady, make love all night long
Ooh Lovely lady, never do me wrong
Ahh, I don't wanna leave you,
I never wanna leave you, anymore, no more
Lovely lady, mystifying eyes
Lovely lady, she don't tell me no lies
I know I'll never leave you
I'm never gonna leave you, anymore
I said no more, I said no more, ooh alright yeah
All right now yeah! No more yeah
I said ya don't want me no more,
I said you don't want me no more,

Come on now baby
Ha ha ha ha

Killing Yourself to Live (5:40)
Well, people look and people stare
Well, I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live.
Killing yourself to live.
Killing yourself to live.
Just take a look around you what do you see?
Pain, suffering and misery.
It's not the way that the world was (planned/meant).
It's a pity you don't understand.
Killing yourself to live.
Killing yourself to live.
I'm telling you believe in me,
Nobody else will tell you
Open your eyes and see the lies, oh yeah
Smoke it - get high!
You think that I'm crazy and baby I know that it's true
Before that you know it I think that you'll go crazy too
I don't know if I'm up or down,
Whether black is white or blue is brown,
The colors of my life are all different somehow
Little boy blue's a big (gun/girl) now
So you think it's me who's strange,
But you've never had to make the (chain/change)
Never give your trust away,
You'll end up paying 'till your dying day
Who Are You? (4:10)
Yes, I know the secret that's within your mind.
You think all the people who worship you are blind.
You're just like big brother giving us your trust
And when you have played enough you'll just cast our souls
Into the dust,
Into the dust.
You thought that it would be easy from the very start.
Now I've found you out I don't think you're so smart.
I only have one more question before my time is through
Please I beg you tell me in the name of hell
Who are you?
Who are you?
You thought that it would be easy from the very start
Now I've found you out I don't think you're so smart
I only have one more question before my time is through
Please I beg you tell me in the name of hell
Who are you?
Who are you?
Looking for Today (4:59)
It's complete but obsolete,
All tomorrows become yesterday.
In demand but second hand,
It's been heard before you even play, yeah.
Up to date but came too late,
Better get yourself another name.
You're so right but overnight,
You're the one who has to take the blame, yeah.
Ev'ryone just gets on top of you.
The pain begins to eat your pride.
You can't believe in anything you knew.
When was the last time that you cried?
Yea, yeah.
Don't delay you're in today
But tomorrow is another dream.
Sunday's star is Monday's scar,
Out of date before you're even seen, yeah.
At the top so quick to flop,
You're so new but rotting in decay.
Like butterfly so quick to die,
But you're only looking for today, yeah.
Ev'ryone just gets on top of you.
The pain begins to eat your pride.
You can't believe in anything you knew.
When was the last time that you cried?
Yea, yeah.
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today.
Listen!
Glamour trip so soon to slip,
Easy come but oh how quick it goes.
Ten foot tall but what a fall,
Hard to open yet so easy to close, yeah.
Front page news but so abused,
You just want to hide yourself away.
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you're only looking for today, Yeah.
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today.
Prelude to a Project
Spiral Architect (5:29)
Sorcerers of madness selling me their time,
Child of God sitting in the sun giving peace of mind,
Fictional seduction on a black snow sky,
Sadness kills the superman even fathers cried.
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see my world and know that it is good,
You know that I should.
Superstitious century, didn't time go slow?
Separating sanity, watching children grow,
Synchronated undertaker spiral skies,
Silver ships on plasmic oceans in disguise.
Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth and know that they are good,
You know that I should.
Watching eyes of celluloid tell you how to live,
Metaphoric motor replay, give, give, give!
Laughter, kissing, love is showing me the way,
Spiral city architect, I build, you pay.
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth and know that it is good,
You know that I should,
You know that I should,
You know that I should,
You know that I should,
You know that I should.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Still falls the rain"
"Still falls the rain,the veils of darkness shroud the blackened trees,
which, contorted by some unseen violence,shed their tired leaves,
and bend their boughs toward a gray earth of severed bird wings.
Among the grasses, poppies bleed before a gesticulating death,
and young rabbits, born dead in traps,stand motionless,
as though guarding the silence that surrounds and threatens to engulf
all those that would listen. Mute birds, tired of repeating yesterdays
terrors,huddle together in the recesses of dark corners, heads turned from the dead, black swan
that floats upturned in a small pool in the hollow.
There emerges from this pool a faint,sensual mist,that traces
its way upwards to caress the feet of the headless martyr's statue
whose only achievement was to die too soon,and who couldn't wait to loose. The cataract of darkness forms fully,the long black night begins,
yet still by the lake a young girl waits.
Unseeing she believes herself unseen,
she smiles faintly at the distant tolling bell, and the still falling rain."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Sabbath (6:16)
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me,
Turn 'round quick and start to run,
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh, No!
Big black shape with eyes of fire,
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there he's smiling,
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, No, No please God help me!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's come around the bend,
People running 'cos they're scared
Ya people better go and beware
No! No! Please! No!
The Wizard (4:18)
Misty morning, clouds in the sky,
Without warning a wizard walks by,
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell,
[Funny clothes]/[Funny cloak], twinkling bell* (*b-hell)
Never talking,
Just keeps walking,
Causing his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy,
Ev'ryone's happy when the wizard walks by
Never talk'n,
Just keeps walk'n,
Spreadin' his magic
Sun is shining; clouds have gone by,
All the people give a happy sigh,
He has passed by, giving his sign,
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talk'n,
Just keeps walk'n,
Spreadin' his magic
Wasp (10:40)
Behind the Wall of Sleep
Visions cupped within the flower,
Deadly petals with strange power,
Faces shine a deadly smile,
Look upon you at your trial
Chill that numbs from head to toe,
Icy sun with frosty glow,
Words that go read to your sorrow,
Words that go read no tomorrow
Feel your spirit rise with the breeze,
Feel your body fallin' to its knees
Take your wall of remorse, Takes your body to a corpse
Takes your body to a corpse Takes your body to a corpse
Sleeping wall of remorse,
Takes your body to a corpse
Now from darkness there springs light,
Wall of sleep is cool and bright,
Wall of sleep is lying broken,
Sun shines in, you have awoken
Basically
N.I.B.
Oh yeah!
Some people say my love can not be true
Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
Living the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real,
Before you know the way I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me under my pow'r
Our love grows stronger now with ev'ry hour
Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real,
Before you know the way I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me under my pow'r
Our love grows stronger now with ev'ry hour
Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Wicked World (4:42)
The world today has such a wicked face
Fighting going on between the human race
People go to work just to earn their bread
While people just across the sea are countin' the dead
A politician's job they say is very high
For he has to choose who's got to go and die
They can put a man on the moon quite easy
While people here on earth are dying of (old/all) diseases
A woman goes to work every day after day
She just goes to work just to earn her pay
Child's (sitting/city) cry "my life is harder" *1
He doesn't even know who is his father
*1 Child sitting by a body life is harder
Evil Woman (3:22)
(By Wiegand, Wiegand, Waggoner)
I see a look of evil in your eyes
You've been filling me all full of lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deed
You will bear someone else's bitter seed
Evil woman don't you play your game with me
Evil woman don't you play your game with me
Now I know just what your looking for
You want me to claim this child you bore *1
Well you know that it was he not me
And you know the way it's got to be
Evil woman don't you play your game with me
Evil woman don't you play your game with
Evil woman don't you play your game with me
Evil woman don't you play your game with me
Wickedness lies in your moistened lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Black cat sleeps on top of your stain(ed) bed,
Your true wish that you could see me dead
Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your

Sleeping Village
Red sun rising in the sky,
Sleepin' village, cock'rel's cry
Soft breeze blowin' in the trees
Peace of mind, feel at ease
Warning
(By Aynsley Dunbar, "Brox" (Victor Hickling), John Moreshead, Alex Dmochowski)
Now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky,
When the sun turned all a blur and the thunder clouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver and the wind began to moan,
It must of been a sign for me to leave you well alone
I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong
You never said you love meand I don't believe you can,
'Cos I saw you in a dream and you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual and I tried to look the same,
But now I've got to love ya,
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong
Now the whole wide world is movin
''Cos there's iron in my heart,
I just can't keep from cryin' 'cos you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away a love I've never known
I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong,
Just a little bit to strong
Now the whole wide world is movin''cos there's iron in my heart,
I just can't keep from cryin' 'cos you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known
I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong,
Just a little bit to strong

War Pigs/Luke's Wall (7:55)
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord Yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave thier role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
And as God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!
Paranoid (2:47)
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late
Planet Caravan (4:26)
We sail through endless skies,
Stars shine like eyes,
the black night sighs
The moon in silver dreams
falls down in beams,
Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
of sapphire haze in orbit always
While down below the trees,
bathed in cool breeze,
Silver starlight breaks down from night
And so we pass on by
the crimson (eye / knife)
of great god Mars
as we travel the universe
Iron Man (5:47)
I am Iron Man!
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he 'live or dead?
(Has he / Icy) thoughts with in his head?
We'll just pass him there,
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him;
He just stares at the world,
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfurl
Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear,
Vengeance from the grave
kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him;
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
drills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can,
Iron Man lives again
Electric Funeral (4:48)
Reflex in the sky warn you you're gonna die
Storm comin' you better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky turns houses into sty
Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay
Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic (grave/rage/rate)
Plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon
dying world of radiation, victims of (man/mad) frustration,
burning globe of obscene fire, like electric funeral pyre
Buildings crashing down to what's cracking ground
[Rivers turned to wood]**, ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry for the dead
Terrifying rain, ease a burning pain
'lectric Fun'ral
'lectric Fun'ral
'lectric Fun'ral
Electric Fun'ral
And so in the sky shines the electric eye
Supernat'ral king, takes earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings, Hell's angels flap their wings
Evil souls fall to Hell, ever trapped in burning cell
** Reverse damned to ward
Hand of Doom (7:07)
What you you gonna do,
Time's caught up with you
Now you wait your turn,
You know there's no return
Take your written rules,
You join the other fools
Turn to something new,
Now it's killing you
First it was the bomb,
Vietnam napalm,
Disillusioning,
You push the needle in
From life you escape,
Reality(')s that (way/fade)
Colors in your mind satisfy in time
Oh you you know you must be blind,
To do such things like this,
To take the sleep that you don't know
You're giving Death a kiss
Poor little fool now
Your mind is full of pleasure,
Your BODY's looking ill
To you it's shallow leisure,
So drop the acid pill
Don't stop to think now
You're having a good time baby,
But that won't last,
Your mind's all full of things,
You're living too fast,
Go out enjoy yourself,
Don't bar it in
You need someone to help you
stick the needle in, yeah
Now you know the scene,
Your skin starts turnin' green
Your eyes no longer see life's reality
Push the needle in,
Face Death's sickly grin
Holes are in your skin,
Caused by deadly pin
Head starts spinning 'round,
You fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave,
Death's hand starts to weave
It's too late to turn,
You Don't want to learn
Price of life you hide,
Now You're gonna die
Rat Salad (2:28)
(Instrumental)
Fairies Wear Boots (6:13)
Goin' home late last night,
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and surprise what I saw:
Fairy boots are dancin' with a dwarf
All Right Now!
Yeah Fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it I tell you no lies
Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes
Woah Right Now!
Yeah Fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it I tell you no lies
Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes
Alright Now!
So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said, "Son, son you've gone too far,
" 'Cos smokin' an trippin' is all that you do." Yeah

Alright! Oh yeah-ah!

Oh yeah!

After Forever (including The Elegy) (5:25)
Have you ever thought about your soul? Can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you are dead you just stay in your grave.
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?
When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope? Do you think he's a fool?
(Well/Will) I see the truth.
Yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways.
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days.
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believed in God above?
They should realize before they criticize that God is the only way to love.
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run?
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say that you may as well worship the sun.
I think it is true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced.
Will you be so sure when your day is near say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down (now/no) you can't retrieve.
Perhaps you think before you say God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he is the one,
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate.
Or will you jeer at all you hear?
Yes! I think it's too late.
Embryo (0:28)
Instrumental
Children of the Grave (5:15)
Revolution in their mind, the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through. Yeah!
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise of tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yeah!
So you children of the world listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave,
Or you children of today are children of the grave. Yeah!
Children of the Grave

Lord of this World (5:24)
You're searching for your mind don't know where to start,
Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know but you are never quite sure,
Your soul is ill but you will not find a cure. Yeah
Your world was made for you by someone above,
But you chose evil ways instead of love
You made me master of the world where you exist,
The soul I took from you was not even missed. Yeah
Lord of this world,
Evil Possessor,
Lord of this world,
He's your confessor now!
You think you're innocent you've nothing to fear,
You don't know me, you say, but isn't it clear?
You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride,
But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? Yeah
Solitude (5:02)
My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on,
Everything I possess, now they are gone,
they are gone, they are gone
Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away,
you went away, you went away
The world is a lonely place you're on your own
Guess I will go home sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do,
Memories I have remind me of you,
of you, of you
Into the Void (6:07)
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast,
Up into the night sky they blast,
Through the universe the engines whine,
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low,
Ev'rywhere is misery and woe,
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea,
Man prepares to meet his destiny. Yeah
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast,
Up into the black sky so vast,
Burning metal through the atmosphere,
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on,
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
Through the empires of eternal void
Freedom from the final suicide
Freedom fighters sent out to the sun,
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate,
Find another world where freedom waits. Yeah
Past the stars in fields of ancient void,
Through the shields of darkness where they find,
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
Leave them to their future in their grave
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness in every day.

Wheels of Confusion (8:00)
The Straightener
Long ago I wandered through my mind,
In the land of fairy tales and stories,
Lost in happiness I didn't know fears,
Innocence and love was all I knew,
Was an illusion
Soon the days were passing into haze,
Happiness just didn't come so easy,
Life was bored of fairy tales and daydreams,
Innocence was just another word,
Was an illusion
Lost in the wheels of (confusion/delusion),
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angered illusion,
Hiding in ev'ry day dream
So I found that life is just a game,
But (you've known/you know) there's never been a winner,
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser,
The world will still be turning when you've gone
Yeah when you've gone!
Tomorrow's Dream (3:08)
Well, I'm leaving tomorrow at day break,
Had the fastest train around nine
Yes, I'm leaving this sorrow and heart-aches,
Before it takes me away from my mind
Send me love and I may let you see me,
Send me holes that can (fit/spin) in my head
But if you really want me to answer,
I could only let you know when I'm dead
When sadness fills my days,
It's time to turn away
And let tomorrow's dreams
become reality to me
Right!
So realize I'm much better without you,
You're not the one and only thing in my heart,
I'll just go back to pretending I'm living,
But this time I'm gonna have the star part
Changes (4:41)
I feel unhappy, I feel so sad,
I lost the best friend that I ever had,
She was my woman, I loved her so,
But it's too late now, I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years, we shared each day,
In love together we found a way,
But soon the world had its evil way,
My heart was blinded,
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long to realize,
And I can still hear her last goodbyes,
Now all my days are filled with tears,
Wish I could go back and change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
FX (1:41)
Instrumental
Supernaut (4:43)
I wanna reach out and touch the sky
I wanna touch the sun but I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up ev'ry mountain on the moon,
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
I've crossed the oceans, turned every bend
I found the plastic at the golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years, they never bothered me
Got no religion; don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me 'cos I'll tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind
Snowblind (5:28)
What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my pain
Icicles within my brain
(Cocaine)
Something blowin' in my head
Winds of ice that soon will spread,
Down to freeze my very soul
Makes me happy makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see,
The snowflakes glisten on the tree(s)
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel the snowflakes freezing me
Let the winter sunshine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams of flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling globe
Right!
Don't you think I know what I'm doing?
Don't tell me that's it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really the loser
This is where I feel I belong
Blind!
Crystal world with winter flowers,
Turn my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
Cornucopia (3:50)
Too much near the truth they say,
Keep it 'till another day,
Let them have their little game,
Illusion helps to keep them sane
Let them have their little toys,
Matchbox cars and mortgage joys,
Exciting in their plastic waste,
Frozen food in a concrete maze
You're gonna go insane,
I'm tryin' ta save your brain
Alright!
I don't know what's happening,
My head's all torn inside
People say I'm heavy,
They don't know what I hide
Take a life, it's going cheap,
Kill someone no one will weep,
Freedom's yours, just pay your dues,
We just want your soul to use
You're gonna go insane,
I'm tryin' to save your brain
Laguna Sunrise (2:50)
Instrumental
St. Vitus' Dance (2:25)
So you think you know what's going on inside her head,
You think she wants your money
but it's you she wants instead
When you think about the things that she did long ago,
It breaks your heart, but deep down,
boy you don't want her to go
You feel your nerves are shattering,
ya feel you wanna die,
Just because the one mistake of telling you a lie
If I were you I'd try again and try (to)* make amends,
She only thinks of you, you know, I'm talking as a friend
* Implied but not sung
Under the Sun (5:52)
Every Day Comes and Goes
Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all about,
No black magician telling me to cut my soul out,
Don't believe in violence; I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door now my mind's been (release/relieved)
Well, I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky,
No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die
I wanna live my life I don't want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, 'cos no one else is true
Ev'ry day just comes and goes
Life is one long overdose
People drive to ruination
I can see through their frustration
People hiding their real faces,
Each one running their rat races
Behind each flow'r there grows a weed
in their world of make-believe
So believe what I tell you;
It's the only way you'll find in the end
Just believe in yourself you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind

Hole in the Sky (4:00)
No count in- the mic - WE'RE GOD!!!
1,2,3,4
I'm looking through a hole in the sky
I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie
I'm getting closer to the end of the line
I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine
I'm living in a room without any view
I'm living free because the rent's never due
The synonym of all the things that I've said
Are just the riddles that are built in my head
Hole in the sky
Gateway to heaven
Window in time
Through it I fly
I've seen the stars that disappear in the sun
But shooting's easy if you've got the right gun
And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars
I don't believe there's any future in [cars]/[cards]
Hole in the sky
Gateway to heaven
Window in time
Through it I fly yeah
I've watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast
I've seen the western world go down in the east
The food of love became the greed of our time
But now we're living on the profits of crime

Instrumental
Symptom of the Universe (6:29)
Take me through the centuries to super sonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes
Yeah Yeah
Mother moon she's calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh hundredth unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe a love that never (died/dies)
Yeah Yeah
Hot
Take my hand my child of love come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
With our love we'll ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe a love that never (died/dies)
Yeah Yeah
Sick
Zoo
Woman child of love's creation come and step inside my dreams
In your eyes I see no sadness you are all that loving means
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love
Megalomania (9:43)
I hide I hide I hide I hide I hide I hide I hide I hide
I hide myself inside the shadows of shame
The silent symphonies were playing their game
My body echoed to the dreams of my soul
It started something that I could not control
Where can I run to now? The joke is so mean.
No sympathizing god its insanity, yeah!
Why don't ya just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't ya just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed
Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed
Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes
I mixed reality with pseudogod dreams
The ghost of violence was something I'd seen
I sold my soul to be the human obscene
How could this poison be the dream of my soul?
How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?
Why don't ya just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't ya just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
Well I feel that something's taken me, I don't know where
It's like a trip inside a separate mind
The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream
is telling me to leave it all behind
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Got to get to happiness, want no more of sorrow
How I lied went to hide
How I tried to get away from you now
(I'm alright/Am I right) if I fight
That I might just get away from you now
Sting Me!
Well I feel that something's giving me the chance to return
It's giving me the chance of saving my soul
Beer (turned the/ prism) demigod I'm fading away
I'm going backwards but I'm in control
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Getting back to sanity, from the depths of sorrow
Was it wise to disguise
How I tried to get away from you now?
Is there a way that I could pay
Or is it true I have to stay with you now?
How I lied, went to hide
How I tried to get away from you now
(I'm alright/Am I right) if I fight /*under alright is dizzy
That I might just get away from you now
Suck Me!
I'm really digging schizophrenia the best of the earth
I'll chase my soul in the fires of hell
Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine
I set the trap, but it was me who failed
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Now I've found my happiness, from the depths of sorrow
No more lies, I got wise
I despise the way I worship you, yeah
Now I'm free, can't you see
And now instead I won't be led by you now
Priest!

Inclination of DIE-rection, walk the turn and (twist adrift / twisted rift)
With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying (cry / eye)
Many deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die
Won't ya help me Mr. Jesus?
Won't ya tell me if you can?
When ya see this world we live in
Do ya still believe in man?
If my psalms become my freedom
And my freedom turns to gold
Then I'll ask the final question
If the answer could be sold
Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
'Cos I've got no reason to lie, yeah
Forget your problems that don't even exist
And I'll show you a way to get high
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
So come alive you know ( you're magic / you matter ) to me
Remember freedom is not hard to find, yeah
Time to stop all your messin' around
Don't you think that I know my own mind?
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
Why can't you believe it's right here to be seen
Do you always have to be told, yeah
Will you have a thought or did you find (its been (bought/rot)/it in god,)
Long before your answer was sold
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah.

Am I Going Insane (Radio) (4:15)
Ev'rybody's looking at me
Feeling paranoid inside (leave)
When I step outside I'll feel free
Think I'll find a place to hide
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Ev'ryday I sit and wonder
How my life it used to be
Now I feel like going under
Now my life is hard to see
So tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
So I'm telling all you people
Listen while I sing again
If I don't sound very cheerful
I think that I'm a schizophrene
So tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
The Writ (8:43)
The way I feel is the way I act
I wished I'd walked before I started to run to you,
Just to you
What kind of people do you think we are?
Another joker who's a rock 'n' roll star for you,
Just for you
The fateful image of another man
The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you,
Yeah for you
Your (sun/sunk) (troopers/ship was) (laid/layin') down on the floor
I wish they'd fallen into my private world with you,
Yeah with you
Are you metal? Are you man?
You've changed a lot since you began,
Yeah began
Ladies digging gold from you
Will they still dig dying true,
Yea true
You bought and sold me with your lying word
The voices in the dark that you never heard came through,
Yeah Cain too.
Your fallen phalic dismembered god *1
A poisoned father with his poisonous his son that's you,
Yeah that's you
I'm begging please don't let it get any worse
The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you,
Yeah curse you
All of the promises that never came true
You're gonna get what is coming to you that's due,
Ah that's soon
Are you Satan? Are you man?
You've changed a lot since it began,
It began
Vultures sucking gold from you
Will they still suck now you're through?
Cats Rats
The search is on so you just better run
And find yourself another way
Rob the dead they don't feel a thing
Keep the living for another day
Rat, Rat
You are nonentity, you have no destiny
You are a figment of a thing unknown
A mantle picture of a stolen soul
A fornication of your golden throne
A smiling face it means the world to me, yeah
So tired of sadness and of misery, yeah
My life it started some time ago
Where it will end I don't know
I thought I was so good
I thought I was far
I feel my world's being torn apart *2
But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah
If it don't some think I'll lose my mind, yeah
I know I know I know Yeah yeah I know
Listen to me while I sing this song
You might just think the words are wrong
Too many people advising me
but they don't know what my eyes seen
But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah

Back Street Kids (3:46)
I'm just another back street kid
Rock 'n' Roll music is the only thing I really dig
Can't stop the music going 'round inside my head
I'm a rock 'n' roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n' roll away from me
Sitting in the back suite of a shiny limousine
Gettin' in a taxi can't remember where I've been
Playing my music, sitting in my hotel room
Writing about the stars and thinking about the hand of doom
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n' roll away from me
Living life comes easy if you know which way you're going
Got to see yourself in others' eyes, surprise.
Living like I want to don't come easy, but I'm trying
Sorting out what's true and what are lies, it's wise
Brought up in a back street living with the salt of the land
Seems that now my music's paying off my tax demand
So listen to the music, wanna see you gettin' so high
'Cos I'm a back street rocker and I will be 'till the day I die
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n' roll away from me
You Won't Change Me (6:34)
I'm just a man and I am what I am, yeah
Nobody will ever change my ways
I don't need money and I don't need your lies, yeah
I only need to live for today
But I'd like to talk things over with you
I wanna hear the things you say, today
Although you won't change me anyway, oh no way
I wish you'd come and see me, I'd like to hold you
I wanna set my mind all free
You understand me woman, you give me time, yeah
But I don't need no sympathy
Still I wonder what it's like to be loved
Instead of hiding in myself
Nobody will change me anyway, no no way
Nobody's gonna change my world
That's something too unreal
Nobody will change the way I feel
So listen to me now, hear what I say, yeah
Please give me time and maybe love
If there's a God up there, well I hope he helps me
I need you now to set me free
'Cos it may be that it's over for me
If you don't hear the things that I say, today
Nobody will change me anyway, no no way
Nobody's gonna change my world
That's something too unreal
Nobody will change the way I feel
It's Alright (3:58)
Told you once about you friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright
Where to going and where to see
It's always been that way and it can never be
It's alright, 'cos it's alright
Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That's it's alright, 'cos it's alright
Ooh...it's alright, 'cos it's alright
Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, 'cos it alright
So I told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, 'cos it's alright
Ooh...
Alright alright alright alright alright
alright alright alright alright alright
alright alright alright alright alright
alright am i immortal alright alright alright
Gypsy (5:10)
Watched the universe at the death of another day
Fatalistic ships from a distant shore...
In the back of my mind I could feel she was standing there
Like the feeling you have when you've been there before...
She was a gypsy woman
She was as cold as the day, yeah
She said I got it comin'
And then she took me away, yeah
She took me through the shadows of her sunken dream
I thought it's over for me, she wasn't all she seemed...
She took my hand and then she started to speak
She told me she'd had the call
With eyes of fire that were burning my soul
She looked into her crystal ball
She read my fortune then she read my mind
She didn't like my thoughts at all
She showed me shadows, a spectre of life
My soul just wanted to scream
She stared so deeply into my eyes
That's when I fell into a dream
When I awoke in bed she lay beside me
And as she read me with her eyes, she said
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now, Now, NOW...
Gypsy woman you're the devil in drag
You are the queen of all Hell
You took my body, now you wasted my soul
You've got me under your spell*
And as the sun shines on another day
You're gonna take my mind as well, it's over
So you wanna be a gypsy, ahh-ah come on now
So you wanna be a gypsy, ahh-ah come on now
So you wanna be a gypsy, ahh-ah come on now
( ahh---------------ah)
So you wanna be a gypsy, gypsy, gypsy, gypsy
*spell-(hell)
All Moving Parts (Stand Still) (4:59)
Super animation, turning on a nation
And they're saying all moving parts stand still
Since he was elected, adrenalin injected
Hear him saying all moving parts should kill
Just like the hero he's got them all on the run,
yes he's won, yeah yeah
Since he passed the motion they're building in the ocean
And he's saying all men should all be free
What a combination, peace and radiation
And he's saying free men should fight for me
Just like his momma, he seems to get his pleasure from pain,
And the rain, ain't that strange? Very strange, yeah!
I like choking toys you've got to see me before you meet the boys
Teacher's burnt the school,
he's had enough of sticking to the rules, alright
People stop and see he's got to be more decadent than me
Just to pass the time he gets his kicks from licking off the wine
Precious silly ladies all Cynthia's and Sadie's
Call him up and he takes their numbers down
Said he is a woman I should have seen it coming
And she's saying she's married to a clown
Just like a lady she'll keep you guessing through the night
Not tonight, well I might, oh alright yeah
Rock 'N' Roll Doctor (3:25)
Well I'm sick and tired of hearing 'bout the and it's hang ups
Gonna get myself together, take a ride down town
Gotta see my rock 'n' roll doctor

She's Gone (4:51)
I've been a long long time, a waitin' for you
I didn't want to see you go, oh no no
And now it's hurting so much, what can I do?
I wanted you to be my wife
The days are passing slowly, since you've gone
Your memories are all I have, yes I have
I sit here waiting but you'll never show
Without you I can't carry on, ooh my baby
You said you'd always love me, all of my life
And then you said your last goodbye, yeah goodbye
Why the sudden changes, why all of the lies?
I should have seen it in your eyes
The endless hours of heartache, a waitin' for you
My summer love has turned to rain, ohh the pain
The silent emptiness of one sided love
My life means nothing now you've gone, ooh my baby
Dirty Women (7:15)
The neon lights are shining on me again
I walk the lonely streets in search of a friend
I need a lady to help me to get through the night,
through the night
If I could find her then everything would feel alright
The sleepy city is dreaming the night time away
Out on the streets I watch tomorrow becoming today
I see a man he's got take away women for sale, yes for sale
Guess that's the answer 'cos take away women don't fail
Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
You got me comin' ya got me goin' around
Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
Let's go! death!
(Dirty women)
Walking the streets I wonder will it ever happen
(Dirty women)
Gotta be good 'cos everything will be o.k.
(Dirty women)
If I could score tonight then I will end up happy
(Dirty women)
A women for sale is gonna help me save my day
Dirty women, dirty women, dirty women, dirty women,
Dirty women, dirty women, dirty women, dirty women,
Dirty women, dirty women, dirty women, dirty women,

Never Say Die (3:47)
People going nowhere taken for a ride,
Looking for the answers that they know inside,
Searching for a reason looking for a rhyme
Snow White innocent* partners in crime!
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Ah don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Sunday satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold tight do it right, taken it slow
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die
Fading silver lining, writing on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, showing us a time
Slow down turn around ev'rything's fine
There's no need to have a reason
There's no need to wonder why
It's a part of me that tells you
Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
*substitute "parasite" for "innocent" if you like Never Say Die!!!
Johnny Blade (6:27)
Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone
People avoid him. They know the street's his home
Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild
Mean as a tiger, society's own child
Those that try to burn him paid
You don't do that to Johnny Blade
He's the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Life has no meaning, and Death's his only friend
Will fate surprise him? Where will he meet his end?
He feels so bitter. Yes, he's so full of hate
To die in the gutter, I guess that's Johnny's fate
Rivals all across the land
He (duke 'em/killed 'em) with his knife in hand
He's the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Well ya know that Johnny's a spider
And his web is the city at night
He's a victim of modern frustration
That's the reason he's so ready to fight
He's the one who should be afraid
What will happen to you Johnny Blade?
Oh he knows his future's decided
And he ain't gonna change it no way
He was born to die in the gutter
He'll keep fighting `till the end of his day
Been alone all through his life
His only friend is a switchblade knife
He's the one who should be afraid
What will happen to you Johnny Blade?
You fool the people. Who fooled who?
It's time to listen. The fool is you.
Junior's Eyes (6:41)
Junior's eyes, looked up to the skies in tears
He prayed that his maker, the giver and taker would 'pear
Junior sighed as his hands reached out to the sky
Junior cried the day that his best friend died
Yeah
You're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry, it won't be for long
With all the pain, I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry when it is time to say goodbye
Junior's eyes, they couldn't disguise the pain
His father was leaving, and Junior's grieving again
Innocent eyes watched the man who gave ev'rything
Junior's sorrow; he knew what tomorrow would bring
Yeah
You're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry, it won't be for long
With all the pain, I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry when it is time to say goodbye
Junior's eyes, looked into the skies once more
Now he knew well, this life was hell, for sure
He desperately tried, his fingertips stretched to the stars, yeah
Reaching for reason, along with the time and the stars
Yeah
You're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry, it won't be for long
With all the pain, I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye
Hard Road (6:03)
Old men crying, young men dying
World still turns as Father Time looks on, on and on
Children playing, dreamers praying;
Laughter turns to tears; love has gone. Has it gone?
Oh it's a hard road
Oh it's a hard road
Poets yearning, lovers learning
on this path of life we pass along, is it wrong?
Widows weeping, babies sleeping
Life becomes the singer and the song. Sing along.
Oh it's a hard road
Carry your own load
DEVIL: Why make the hard road?
Why can't we befriend?
No need to hurry
We'll meet in the end
Why make the hard road?
Why can't we befriend?
No need to worry
Let's sing it again
Brother's sharing, mother's caring
Night time falling victim to the dawn, shadow's mourn
Days are crawling, time is calling;
To the Earth another life is born, love line drawn
Oh it's a hard road
Carry your own load
Oh it's a hard road
Oh it's a hard road
(Oh its a hard road)
Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past,
And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know
(Oh its a hard road)
(Oh its a hard road)
Forget all your sorrow; don't live in the past,
And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know
(Oh its a hard road)
(Oh its a hard road)
Forget all your sorrow; don't live in the past,
And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know
(Oh its a hard road)
(Oh its a hard road)
Forget all your sorrow; don't live in the past,
And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know
(Oh its a hard road)
(Oh its a hard road)
Forget all your sorrow;
Shock Wave (5:13)
There's no reason for you to run
You can't escape the fate of the chosen one
Black moon rising in a blood red sky
This time you realize that you're gonna die
Drinking your bloody is your answer
That's what you plan to do
No dreaming time you cheat Death's master
You're on your own, going through
Wind of mist has taken over your mind
And you think you're on your own
Don't believe you are the only one here
Look around you're not alone
Feel the forces from another world
Ghostly shadows fill your mind
Evil power hanging over you
As you freeze you're like a child (boom high high)
Look behind you
Somebody's calling, someone is near
Feel yourself falling, falling with fear
You tell yourself you're dreaming
You realize you're screaming
You know that this shouldn't happen to you
You tell yourself that if this can be true
But there is nothing you can do, oh
Ghostly shadows from the other world
Evil forces in your mind
Trapped between the wall of life and death
Frozen in the realms of time (boom high high)
Look behind you
(who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh)
(who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh)
You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line
(who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh)
Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind
(who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh)
Cool cool feelings are running through your brain
(who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh)
Ice cold fingers flowing through your veins
who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh
who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh boo-ooze
Air Dance (5:15)
She sits in silence in her midnight world
With faded pictures of a dancing girl
Her distant dreamer on the seas of time
Her happy mem'ries dancing through her mind
In days of romance, she was the queen of dance
She'd dance the night away
And as the seasons turn the days to years
She holds her pictures, hears the silent cheers
The days grow lonely for the dancing queen
And now she dances only in her dreams
In days of romance, she was the queen of dance
She'd dance the night away, away, away, away
Over to You (5:21)
Born in the window, nobody's (spoof/fool)
Raised in the prison, you called the school
Dark (hulking/arcane) legends know what to do
I handed my childhood over to you
Traveling endlessly, I'm searching my mind
I'm almost afraid of what I will find
Wandering aimlessly, oh what can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
Workin' for freedom, fighting your wars
Feeding your children, (keeping/leaping) your laws
Someday you'll suffer then what I'll do
I'll hand all your promises over to you
Standing inside myself I'm losing control
You made me believe in the stories you told
Waiting impatiently, what else can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
Tears filled of sadness, sealed in my (cell/self)
Whispering secrets, what do they tell?
Mad politicians can tell it too
I handed my children over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
Breakout (2:36)
Instrumental
Swinging the Chain (4:18)
It's against my uniform to be a civil judge
All the songs are hist'ry now `bout rock stars and their grudge
Let us cast our minds back to thirty years or more
You took up all the vandals. Will Hitler beat `em off*?
And we're sad and sorry Really sorry that it happened that way
Yes we're so so sorry
but why'd you have to treat us that way?
Compare ourselves with others and cover them in sin
Oh God what a terrible, a terrible state we're in
There must be some where out of here
A compromise that's right
If we can not work it out we're gonna have to fight
And we're so sorry
We're really sorry that it happened that way
Yes we're sad and sorry
We can not go on another day
I'm talking about my brothers
Yeah and I'm talking `bout sisters as well
And I wish ya, bye Good luck!
Bye Oh Lord!
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
Oh but the world's still on fire
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
Chain that holds your tiny cross you liar
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
This fire__!
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah!
You better believe it, you better believe in
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
Yeah, yeah, man, yeah-ah!
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
Oh-Oh... take oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh...
You better believe it, you gotta believe in
You better believe it, you gotta believe in

Frozen food in a concrete maze

OZZY:"Alright everybody lets go!"
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live in
They know the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through. Yeah!
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yeah!
OZZY:"We love you!"
So you children of the world listen to what I say

OZZY:"GET UP!"
Ohhh!
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord Yeah!
Right!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah
Right!
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah!
OZZY:"Everybody - come on, come on."
OZZY:"We Love you."
OZZY:"Alright!"
OZZY:"Oh!"
OZZY:"Right"
OZZY:"Right Yeah!"
WICKED WORLD
OZZY:"Come on, yeah"
The world today is such a wicked place
Fighting going on between the human race
People go to work just to earn their bread
While people just across the sea are counting the dead,
Alright!
A politician's job they say is very high
For he has to choose who's got to go and die
They can put a man on the moon quite easy
While people here on earth are dying of old diseases
Alright!
I don't know whether it is worth all.
For whatever trouble I got on my mind.
Everybody's running around in circles.
Running 'round everyday as if their blind, alright
A politician's job they say is very high
For he has to choose who's got to go and die
They can put a man on the moon quite easy
While people here on earth are dying of old diseases
"Alright! Tony."
[Guitar Solo]
[Into the Void melody]
"Alright, put your hands. Alright!"
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad
I lost my woman, I feel so bad
She was my first love, I needed her
But it's so bad, I'm on my own, own, own, own, yeah
Now I will sit here, everyday
I loved that woman, oh yeah, and everyday
She was my first one, it felt so good
I didn't no what to say, I just can't go on, on, on, on, yeah
"Guess what?"
I wanna reach out and touch the sky,
I wanna touch the sun but I don't need to fly,
I'm wanna climb up ev'ry mountain on the moon,
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the plastic at the golden rainbow's end,
Don't try to reach me, 'cos I'd tear out your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind
Alright!
[Drum Solo]
A woman goes to work every day after day
She just goes to work just to earn her pay
Child sitting by his life's much harder
He doesn't even know who is his father
Alright!
OZZY:"Tony Iommi there lead guitar, thank you."
PARANOID
"Alright what ya want to hear? (Paranoid) What ya want to hear?
(Paranoid). What ya want to hear? (Paranoid).
Alright! we'll see what we can do."
OZZY:death
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am drowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
OZZY:"Alright now."
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me us so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it's too late
"We Love you!"
"Thank you, goodnight, we love you all."
"You're beautiful."
"Yeah goodnight we love you all

Oh no! Here it comes again
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again, again and again, again oh
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of light
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloody angels fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows shining ever-bright
Neon Knight!
Neon Knights!
Alright!

Children of the Sea (5:30)
In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, a final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky, woah-oh, mmm
We sailed across the air before we learned to fly
We thought that it could never end
We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run. Run!
Now it seems our world has come undone
Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be
Ooh they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, ooh, oh-ohh
We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played
Hiding in our corner of the world
Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore
Threw away the key and locked the door
Oh they say that it's over, yeah
And it just had to be
Yes they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, oh
In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, the final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky
Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be
Oh they say that it's over
Poor lost children of the sea, yeah
LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down
LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round
LOOK OUT OUT Out out! The sun is going black, black.
LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back
LOOK OUT!
Lady Evil (4:22)
There's a place just south of Witches' Valley
Where they say the wind won't blow
And they only speak in whispers of her name
There's a lady they say who feeds the darkness
It eats right from her hand
With a crying shout she'll search you out
And freeze you where you stand
Lady Evil, evil
She's a magical mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil in my mind
She's queen of the night, but alright, mmm-m
In a place just south of Witches' Valley
Where they say the rain won't fall
Thunder cracks the sky, it makes it bleed, yeah
There's a lady they say who needs the darkness
She can't face the light
With an awful shout, she'll find ya out
And have you before the night
Lady Evil, evil
She's a magical mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil on my mind
She's a queen of the night
So if you ever get to Witches' Valley
Don't dream or close your eyes
And never trust your shadow in the dark
'Cause there's a lady I know who takes your vision
And turns it all around
The things ya seen are what to be, lost and never found
Lady Evil, evil
She's a magical mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil on my mind
She's queen of the night
Gonna do you right
She's the queen of sin
Look out she'll pull you in
Lady Wonder
Heaven And Hell (6:56)
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell,
Oh well, yeah um
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell, fool fool
(Ahhhhh-ah, ahhhhh-ah)
Oh-oh oohh-oohh
(Ahhhhhhhhh-ah)
Yeah yeah yeah-death
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on...
(Ahhh-ah, ahhhhhhhhh-ah)
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, noh no
Fool fool, you got to bleed for the dancer
Fool fool, look for the answer
Fool, fool, fool
Wishing Well (4:02)
Throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no no
Then think of a rainbow and I'll make it come real
Roll me, I'm a never ending wheel
I'll give you a star, so you know just where you are
Don't you know that I might be your wishing well,
Your wishing well
Look in the water, tell me what do you see?
Reflections are the love you give to me
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry, and why?
Time is a never ending journey
Love is a never ending smile
Give me a sign to build a dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Yeah, throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You'll find that life's not always what it seems, no no
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
Let me fill myself with tears you cry
I'll give you a star, so you know just where you are
Someday, some way, you'll feel the things I say
Dream for a while of the things that make you smile
Don't you know, don't you know,
Oh you know, that I'm your wishing well,
Your wishing well,
Your wishing well
I wish you well
I'm your wishing well
Die Young (4:41)
Ooh!
Gather the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun, and it tears away (and it breaks) you as you run, you run, you run
Behind the smile, there's danger and a promise to be told:
You'll never get old - ha!
Life's fantasy - to be locked away and still to think you're free,
You're free, we're free
So live for today, but tomorrow never comes
Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing in the end?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the (fall/fair)
Ahhahahahahaa
Gather the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Then chain the sun, and it tears away, (and it breaks) you as you run, you run, you run
So live for today, but tomorrow never comes
Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young, die young, die young, die young, die young,
Die young!
Walk Away (4:21)
Oohh...hey hey
Lord she's handsome as she flows across the floor
Nothing I've seen in my life has ever pleased me more
She's got the look of freedom, and it makes ya think she's wild
But I can see right through it all, it's a way to have a child
Oh walk away, she's looking to love you
There's nothing to say
Just turn your head and walk away
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
Walk away, walk on
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
She moves in sunlight, never seen the night at all
Like a star in the midnight sky, burns before it falls
I've never been lonely, and I can't imagine why
Maybe she could be the one to tell me, I guess it's do or die
Can't see her fire, but I can feel her heat, all right!
It's rising higher,
I'm walking the wire
Oh, walk on by
Oh walk away, she's looking to love you
There's nothing to say
Just turn your head and walk away
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
Oh walk on by, walk away
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
Walk on, walk on, walk on, walk away
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
You'll feel her fire, she'll lift you higher
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh)
But don't be fooled. Just turn your head and walk away
(Oh oh, oh-ohh, oh oh) walk away
Lonely is the Word (5:49)
It's a long way to nowhere and I'm leaving very soon
On the way we pass so close to the back side of the moon
Hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand it's the only road I know
Oh, lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah!
I've been higher than stardust, I've been seen upon the sun
I used to count in millions then, but now I only count in one
Come on join the trav'ler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand it's the only road I know
Yeah, lonely is the word
Got to be the saddest sound I've ever heard
Yeah, lonely its the name
Maybe life's a losing game?

Turn up the Night (3:42)
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The (darkened deliver/darken nether), I shake and I shiver down your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another it's a story told
So get a good hold, yeah
Rattle the voodoo, you thought that you knew who you are
Simple equation, (that's-the-relation/des-o-lation), but that's gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know,
So let it all go, yeah
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Night hides sorrow, day can light pain
Glick:
Black will not become a, white is for the saint
Slenker:
Black will not be colour, (white's/lies) for saint
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened (deliver/nether), I shake and I shiver down your soul
So get a good hold, yeah
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Gotta turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Turn up the night, or turn off the light!
Get out the light!
Or turn up the night, it feeled right!
Or turn off the light, it feeled right!
Shut off the light!
Or turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Voodoo (4:32)
Say you don't love me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't love me, you'll learn
Nothin' you'll do will be new, 'cause I'm through, ah-ah.
Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool, it's alright
Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name 'cause it's voodoo, oh!
Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn
So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes 'cause he's voodoo, oh!
Say you don't love me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't love me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through
Voodoo!
Right!
Bring me your children, they'll burn
Never look back, never turn
Cry me a river, you learn
Voodoo!
The Sign of the Southern Cross (7:46)
If there isn't light when no one sees
Then how can I know what you might believe?
A story told that can't be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah
Fade away, fade away
Vanish into small
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball - oh
It's the sign
Feels like (a) time, hmmm
On a small world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer fall
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain song
Then the beast is free to wander
But never is seen around
And it's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross, alright!
Sail away
To the sign
Ohh
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalm
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach above your dreams of pleasure
Given life to those who died
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of sign
And it's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can't accept it anymore
Ahh
On a real world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere ohh
There's a rainbow see it shimmer
When the summer fall
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalm
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
It's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross
Don't live for pleasure
Make life your treasure
Fade away
Eight miles high about to fall
And no one there to catch you
Look for the sign, the time

You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools

Oh they're breaking away

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling and take you right back around
You're all fools, fools rules rules
The mob rules
Country Girl (4:02)
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from (another/a nether) world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bit
Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air, oh, yeah
In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
Now fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh
Don't sail away on a crimson tide
Don't leave your heart on the other side
Her eyes are an endless flame
Ooh desire what a special name
Don't ever fall in love
Don't give your heart away
No never, never fall in love with a country girl
Slipping Away (3:45)
Ooh! Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster
Nothin' to make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone
Turnnin' the page, yeah, got to start another story
Slippin' away, slippin' away, time to move along
No reason to stay
Oh when I'm slippin' away
Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle
Round and round you go, you're a start without an end
Send you a life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies
Running away, slippin' away, right behind the cloud
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Nobody to pay
Look out, 'cause I'm slippin' away
Rockin' the glass, I won't leave you my reflection
A future without a past, no more road to take me back, no
Come if you will, yeah, just don't question my direction
Dragging away, slippin' away, we can find the sun
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Got nobody to pay
So I'm just slippin' away
No more runnin' in a circle
It's time to move along
Round round round we go
A start without an end
So I'm slippin' away
Slippin' away
Falling off the Edge of the World (5:02)
I think about closing the door
And lately I think of it more
I'm living well out of my time
I feel like I'm losin' my mind
I should be at the table round
A servant of the crown
The keeper of the sign
To sparkle and to shine
Never, no never again
Listen to me and believe what I say if you can
Never, this is the end
You know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man
Help me, tell me I'm sane
I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain
Save me, oh take me away
You know I've seen some creatures from Hell and I've heard what they say
I've got to be strong
Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world, hmm-mm
Think you're safe but you're wrong
We are falling off the edge of the world
Look out there's danger, no where to run
Seems like desperate measures but sometimes its got to be done
Over, its over at last
And the message inside as we build a new life from the past
We're falling off the edge of the world
Yes, the edge of the world
It's the end of the world
Over and Over (5:28)
Sometimes I feel like I'm dyin' at dawn
And sometimes I'm warm as fire
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over and over, and over again, yeah yeah
Too many flames, with too much to burn
And life's only made of paper
Oh how I need to be free of this pain
Watch it goes over and over, and over and over again
Ohhoh and sometimes I cry for the lost and alone
And for their dreams that will all be ashes
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna reign
And it goes over and over, and over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again

DIO: It's a good platform now
We'd like to especially thank you for this next one.
First time we were around to see you, we had an album out called Heaven
and Hell. And from that album, song that we like quite a bit enjoy
doing every night thanks to you.
We'll do it for you now.
It's called "Heaven and Hell this."
Ayke.
HEAVEN AND HELL
Yeah, do it like this.
Ay ou yes, ou
Turn to the snare drum.
Beat it.
Oh. We'd like you to sing just three words after we do it please.
The words Heaven and Hell.
And I'll do one for ya first so you'll know exactly where it comes.
It's quite easy, but we need your love and power; ya gotta do it with
a lot of strength.
Here's the example.
On and on, on and on it's Heaven and Hell.
Now that's where you do it. Here we go.

Remember, it goes on and on and on it's, Heaven and Hell,
Oh hmm
Not knowing you were going to be this fantastic, we didn't tell you the other suprise.
Not only are we filming this one, but our next album will be, finally, a live album from Black Sabbath.
The lover of life's not a sinner

Yeah yeah-yea
Oh...
Alright ourrr death (satan).
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in (life)
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
It goes on and on, on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Hmm
My life is Heaven and Hell
Somebody gonna do you well
Gonna do you well
Gonna do you well

Think I'll lose my mind
if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
Alright
yeah
I need someone to show me those
things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be blind
I can't see - (all the way)
(yes)
Yeah
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel
And love to me is so unreal
Ohoh
Answer as you hear these words
telling you now of my fate
I tell you to enjoy life,
I wish I could but it's too late
Ohoh
Ohohoh..well.
Alright alright
DIO: Thank you, thank you, thank you all.
Your the best, thank you, good night.
Hey
Crowd: Sabbath Sabbath Sabbath...
CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE
Revolution in their minds, the children start to march
Against the world they're forced to live in
The hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through. Yeah!
Alright
Children of tomorrow live in tears that fall today
Will the sun rise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Ooh
Will they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yea!
Oh yeah, alright.
So you children of the world listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
Tell the world that love is still alive you must be brave,
Or you children of today are children of the grave. Yeah!
Better look out
Oh yeah
Alright
Got to spread the word
Yea
Ohoh
Alright
Yea
DIO: Thank you.
CROWD: Sabbath
DIO: (From) All of us, good night.

Trashed (4:10)
Ahhh, Ah
It really was a meeting
The bottle took a beating
The ladies of the manor
Watched me climb into my car
And I was going down the track about a hundred and five
They had the stopwatch rolling
Had the headlights blazing I was really alive
And yet my mind was blowing
I drank a bottle of tequila and I felt real good
I had the tape deck roaring
But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn I went off exploring
I knew I wouldn't make it the car just couldn't take it
I was turning, tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing. The bitch was trashed
And death was in my eye
Started pretty good and I was feeling my way
Had the wheels in motion
There was Peter and the Greenfly laughing like drains
Inebri-ocean
Crowd was roaring I was at Brands Hatch in my imagination
At the canal turn I hit an oily patch
Inebriation
Knew I wouldn't make it the car just couldn't take it
I was turning, tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing. The bitch was trashed
And death was in my eye
Ooh Mr. Miracle you saved me from some pain
I thank you Mr. Miracle I won't get trashed again
Ooh can ya hear my lies?
Don't you bother with this fool just laugh into my eye
I was turning, tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing. The bitch was trashed
Death was in my eye
Ooh Mr. Miracle you saved me from some pain
I thank you Mr. Miracle I won't get trashed again
Ooh can ya hear my lies?
Don't you bother with this fool just laugh into my eye...
Back to the bar and hit the bottle again
But there was no tequila
Then we started on the whiskey just to steady our brains
'Cos there was no tequila
As we drank a little faster at the top of our hill
We began to roll
(And) as we got trashed we were laughing still
Well bless my soul!
Yo ho jack off

Disturbing the Priest (5:48)
Ahh ha ha ha ha ha ha hah!
de de de de de de death!
Ahh ha ha ha ha half!
Oh!
Let's try get to the sky
Hang on or you're going to die
Sour life can turn sweet
It's laying at your feet
Sweet child with an innocent smile
Watches closely all the while
Don't be fooled when he cries
Keep looking at the eyes
Good life is contradiction
Because of crucifixion
If you're ready and have the need
I will take your soul and plant my seed
I just gotta listen to the night at the ending of the day
I just gotta listen to the night as safety slips away
Moving out of sight are the things you need to (see to feel/sleep fugue)
And as they slip away becoming so unreal unreal
You just gotta listen to the night as you're going upstairs
You just gotta listen to the night and don't forget to say your prayers
And as you lose control to the eyes in dark disguise
And icy fingers send electric lies lies
We're disturbing the priest
Won't you please come to our feast
Do we mind disturbing the priest?
Not at all, not at all, not in the least
Aahhh-ahhh, Do we mind disturbing the priest?
Aahhh-ahhh, not at all, not at all, not in the least
The force of the devil is the darkness the priest has to face
The force of the night will destroy him but will not disgrace
To get into his mind and to his soul you gotta set a light
The flames of doubt so deep inside inside
The devil and the priest can't exist if one goes away
It's just like the battle of a sun and the moon and night and day
Force of the devil that's we're all told to fear
Watch out for religion when he gets too near too near
We're disturbing the priest
Won't you please come to our feast
Do we mind disturbing the priest?
Not at all, not at all, not in the least
Good life is contradiction
Because of crucifixion
If you're ready and have the need
I'll take your soul and plant my seed, oh
Aahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhahhh
What heh hey
Heh heh ahhhh-ha ha ha ha ha right
Ohhhh(Ahhhhhh-ha ha)
Ohhh
Let's try getting to the sky
Hang on or you're going to die
Sour life can turn sweet
Is laying at your feet
Sweet child with an innocent smile
Watches closely all the while
And when he cries
Keep looking at the eyes, ohh-ohh
Oh-oh disturbing the priest!
Yeah-oh disturbing the priest, yeah
Heh ha ha ha hey
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Heh Hehhahaha
Ahhhahahahahad
Ohhhahhgggg...
The Dark (0:31)
Instrumental
Zero the Hero (7:45)
Accept the fact that you're second rate
Life is easy for you
It's all served up on a gold plated plate
Don't even have to talk to you
Your face is normal that's the way you're bred
That's the way you're gonna stay
Your head is firmly nailed to your t.v. channel
But someone else's finger's on the control panel
What's gonna be, what ya gonna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
Impossibility, it's a fallacy mother
Really a Hero (Hero)
You sit there watch it all burn down, (burn down)
It's easy and breezy for you
You play your life to a different sound
No edge no edge ya got no knife have you?
Your life's a six lane highway to no-where
Going so fast you're never ever
gonna get down there where the heroes sit by the river
With a magic in their music as they eat raw liver
What's it gonna be, what ya gonna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
Impossibility, it's a power team mother
Really a Hero (Hero)
You stand there captain and we all look
You really are mediocre
You are the champion in the Acme form book
But I think you're just a joker
Your face down life ain't so much of a pity
The luv-a-duckin' way you're walkin' around the city
With your balls and your head full of nothing
It's easy for you sucker but you really need stuffing
What's it gonna be, what ya gonna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother?
Zero the Hero (Hero)
Impossibility, it's a power team brother
Really a Hero (Hero)
Digital Bitch (3:35)
She wears hot leather just to satisfy
She really throws it around
There ain't one thing she can't afford to buy
She's the richest bitch in town
Her big fat daddy was a money machine
He made a fortune from computers
She got more money than I've ever seen
But she's a greedy emotional looter
Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
I keep away from the digital bitch
She's so rich, the digital bitch ahhh
She's got five rollers and a fine estate
A big house up on the hill
She throws more parties just to celebrate
Her life is one ginormous thrill
She buys poor people just to have around
Has a trophy for each lover
The bitch is rich but baby pound for pound
She's got a lot more to discover
Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
She's so rich, the digital bitch
Maybe she could please me if I saw beneath her veil?
But she is just an imitation woman up for sale
She got so famous that she's on t.v.
She got a real professional smile
But I switch over 'cos she ain't for me
'Cos she disturb me all the while
She looks so happy but she got it wrong
She always going faster
Sing her life to such a different song
She needs a loving and dominant master
Keep away from the digital bitch
I keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
'Cos she's so rich, the digital bitch
Ohhh ho, jack off
Ohhh oh oh oh
Yah ho
She's a digital bitch Ou digital witch, yeah ohohohoh I come
Ou digital witch
Shape shift change digital witch
She a bitch
She a bitch bitch bitch pig's bitch pig's bitch, ou yeah
She's a video...video (Is she ready?) video bitch
Born Again (6:30)
As you look through my window
Deep into my room
The tapestries all faded
Their vague and distant glories concealed in the gloom
Icy fingers of forgotten passions
Softly brushing my lips
And the tips of my primitive soul
As you look through my door
Deep into my room
Can you feel the mighty wall power
It's waiting waiting in the gloom
The distant shadows of forgotten champions
Those who live in me still
And will rise when we challenge and kill
Born again
You'll be born again
Ahhhahahah-ahahahah
Look at this prince of evil
Fighting for your mind
Fighting all priests of shame
For the thrust of my challenge is aimed at the hearts
Of mutant gods who think we're all the same
They're controlling our minds
And they use us for fortune and fame
As you look through my window
Deep into my room
At your future and freedom
The grey and plastic retards all floating in circles
And as you taste the fruit of new sensations
Softly brushing your lips
As we rise when we challenge and kill
Born again
You'll be born again
Ahhhahahah-ahahahah
Born again
You'll be born again
If you want to be a king for a day just do what I say
Born again
You'll be born again
Everybody's got to think like a hunter just search for your prey
Born again
You'll be born
Be alive through the night and the day just do it my way
Hot Line (4:50)
Take me to the river baby drink my wine
When I'm going down won't you throw me a line
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you sing me some prayers?
When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line?
Help me to the answer baby sit my prey
I'm torn between the Devil and the deep blue sea
Maybe if you wanted you could save my face
Keep me out of trouble I'm a living disgrace
When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line? (death)
Oh...ooh baby put me on the hot line
Baby put me on the hot line
The hot lines to hell!
Oh
Show me to a sucker and you'll see my name
Standing in a line with the shadows of fame
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers?
When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line?
When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line?
Oh put me on the hot line!
Yeah put me on the hot line!
On the hot line baby, oh
Take me to the river baby drink my wine
Take me to the river and drink my wine
Take me to the river drink my wine
Take me, take me, a take me, take oh
Take me to the hot line
Baby take me to the hot line
Take me to the hot line, to hell ow
Keep It Warm (5:34)
Sweet woman are you feeling right?
What was it that you did last night?
Ya made me crazy you made me fly
I can't forget the hungry look in your eye
Oh what's a matter with me?
I'm just a runner I was born free
Since I met you I can't leave you alone
Leaving now but I'll be coming home, I said
Keep it warm rat, the place by your side
Nobody's gonna take away our our magical ride
Keep it warm for when we talk on the phone
Don't forget will you pretty one that your man,
Your man is coming home
D'ya hear the rumor that's going around?
Say I'm ruined 'cos I've settled down
It's not true well maybe half and half
Ya know I love ya but I still like a laugh
Ooh feeling fine, I got it right for the first time
Sweet woman I can't stay for long
Everybody will be proved wrong, I said
Keep it warm rat, the place by your side
Nobody's gonna take away our our magical ride
Keep it warm for when we talk on the phone
Don't forget pretty pretty one that your man,
Your man will be home
Like a gypsy I need to roam,
Don't worry I'll be coming home
I need the danger I need the thrill
I need to know what is over each hill
Ohhoh I'm a different man
Still running but you understand
Since I've met you I can't leave you alone
Leaving now but I'll be coming home, I said
Keep it warm rat, the place by your side
Nobody's gonna take away our magical ride
Keep it warm rat, warm for your man
Nobody's gonna take away our dreams and our plans
Keep it warm rat, the place by your side
Nobody's gonna take away our magical ride
Keep it warm for when we talk on the phone
Don't forget will ya pretty one
That your man, your man is coming home

In For The Kill (3:41)
Thunder shattered the dawn
Raging with fury the king has come
The power terror will reign
There is no mercy in pleading
In for the kill, no quarter be shown
Live for the thrill of battle alone
Blessed by the will to die for the throne
In for the kill
In for the kill
Freedom is taken by storm
Blood on his hands is still running warm
The power of terror will reign
There is no mercy in pleading
In for the kill, no quarter be shown
Live for the thrill of the battle alone
Blessed by the will to die for the throne
In for the kill
For the kill
In for the kill, no quarter be shown
Live for the thrill of battle alone
Blessed by the will to die for the throne
In for the kill
In for the kill
Thunder shattered the dawn
Raging with fury the king has come
Death and destruction riding the storm
Blood on his hands still running warm
In for the kill
The king has come
2. No Stranger To Love (4:29)
Cold is the night
Lonely 'till dawn
Cry for the light
For the love that won't come
You said that you'ld never
Leave me alone
I gave you my heart
You cried for my soul
An angel won't come
This devil won't go
Something is wrong
I just can't get away
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms
Maybe it's right
But I just can't understand
The hurt that I feel
For my love second hand
I know I should leave
But I just can't walk away
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Oh yes I'm a stranger in your arms
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no
Turn To Stone (3:29)
She came from the past
She was never meant to last
Her destiny was fatal from the start
A messenger from hell, she cast her deadly spell
On all of those who dare to cross her heart
Ain't no use in you trying to run
Fate has taken it's toll
Just one look and the damage is done
Burn your eyes
Turn your heart into stone
History foretold of a circle cast in gold
An evil seed of power sealed within
But fate lent a hand
Destroyed the golden band
Freed her soul, wash the land with sin
Ain't no use in you trying to run
Fate has taken it's toll
Just one look and the damage is done
Burn your eyes
Turn your heart into stone
She cast a deadly spell
She put a spell on you
She got evil in her heart
She'll Turn your heart into stone
Turn turn into stone
You can never win
Turn into stone
Turn. Turning. She put a spell on you
Sphinx (The Guardian) (1:10)
Instrumental
Seventh Star (5:21)
There's a vision in the sands
Rising from the ancient past
Crying let my spirit go
Leave my burning soul to rest (rest)
Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
There's no shelter from the heat
There's no mercy from this land (land)
Hear a thousand chanting souls
Waiting judgement from God's hand
Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call (ohhh) of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
The pyramids will fall
Turn to dust before the sun (sun)
And the star will rise again
Until destiny is done (done)
Hear the sound of distant ages
The call of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
Hear the sound of fallen angels
Call of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
The call of the seventh star
Danger Zone (4:25)
Midnight, something don't feel right
Been too much, too far away from home
Hard life, living the hard life
I can't resist, I'm falling to the danger zone
All day long, pushed and shoved
I just can't get enough
In the danger zone
Red light, don't stop for no red light
You know I'm always trouble on my own
Lonely, ever so lonely
I got too much time
I'm heading for the danger zone
All day long, pushed and shoved
I just can't get enough
In the danger zone
I'm eager, eager to please
I can't stand no more
It's got me on my knees
Ain't gonna feel no hurt
Ain't gonna feel no pain
I got nothin' left to lose
I ain't got no shame
Don't try to stop me just leave me on my own
I'm gonna live or die in the danger zone
I'm living in the danger zone
In the danger zone
Hard life, I'm living the hard life
I'm gonna take a chance in the danger zone
Lonely, ever so lonely
I'm gonna live or die in the danger zone
Midnight, can't wait until midnight
Help me
Heart Like A Wheel (6:38)
In these days of confusion
You've turned angry and cold
You say it's an illusion
There's no fire in your soul
Say you don't love me
You say you don't care
But leave me standing here
Don't leave me standing here
Your heart's like a wheel
Just waiting to roll
It's longing for freedom
To get out on the road
You're hungry for something
That you will never find
So many reasons your love has made you blind
You say you don't love me
You say you don't care
So don't leave me standing here
Don't leave me standing here
No no no no my death no no oh I'm dead (dead)
Ah
You say you don't love me
You say you don't care
Don't leave me
Don't leave me standing here
No no no no no No no_ no no no
Don't you leave me standing here
Life ain't been easy
Full of passion and pain
Told me no reason
Why I was to blame
Don't leave me standing
Don't leave me standing
Don't leave me standing on my own
Angry Heart (3:06)
I still remember how it used to be
I thought the only thing that mattered was me
You always told me it was just insane
To feel such joy while others feel pain
And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause when love goes it will tear you apart
And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a promised land
And the years slip by like so much sand
So many people who are dying to live
It tortures my heart they've got so much to give
I never saw it as a battle before
To win the fight there has to be more
And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause all these fears will tear you apart
And it's been this way since time began
It's a needless journey, it's the fate of man
To live each day and never understand
Yes it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a master plan
And the years slip by like water through your hands
In Memory... (2:34)
No one told me the way I should feel
You left an aching heart
Lost and lonely, the feeling goes on
You were the one friend I had
You gave me so much love
Now the tears remind me you're gone
It stills haunts me
There's a silence where you used to be
It still haunts me
Just an empty space and mystery
It still haunts me
But life must go on, on and on and on
It's still haunting me
It's still haunting me
Haunting me
Haunting me oh
It's still haunting me oh

The Shining (5:58)
There's a man who sees all there is to see
What the future holds for all
As the days grow dark as his sole and final warning
Beware of the one with invisible friends they will steal into your mind
And all too soon the signs begin to show-oh
Rise up to the shinin'
Live long live now-ow
Rise up to the shinin'
Don't be blind by fools again
Fools again
As the page is turned and the story's told on the visions he had seen
The house on the hill with the haunted eyes that call
No one laughed as madness came out (out out) to play it's game
If you stay too long you'll finally go insane, now
Rise up to the shining
Live long live now-ow
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Fools again
Bells will take their toll on your way out
There's no way we're born to shine before our time
All your life, you're on your own
Lonely road lost in a time
Let the light lead your way to the golden throne,
It's the only way
Rise up to the shinin'
Live long live now-ow
Rise up to the shinin'
Don't be blind by fools again
Rise up to the shinin'
Live long live now-ow
Rise up the shinin'
Don't be blind by fools again
Oh rise up to the shinin'
Wise up, they're gonna steal your mind
Rise up the house is gonna haunt you!
No one laughed, no one cried
Oh oh ahh-ahh yeah
Ancient Warrior (5:34)
There's no end - there's no beginning - to the old man's story
Does he still remember me - from lives gone by?
Oh I see his spirit rising upon the back of time
I've got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place from me?
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings, oh
In his eyes an ocean's burning
Swollen seas of tears
Troubled mind the beating war drums in his ears
No one ever hears his warning
Am I the one he calls?
When they tell me they're afraid
Some say I'll be put away
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings, oh
My blood will spill my blood
Oh-oh
My blood will spill my blood ha
In the wisdom of the prophet's never ending tale
"Open up the eyes within your mind," he said
Crowned in his ancient glory
There's a king within us all
Some will say it's all in vain
That he doesn't have a name
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings, oh
Hard Life To Love (5:00)
Livin' in the fast lane is easy till ya run out of road
Friends will turn to strangers when you're out of control
A slip of the tongue when it's done, is often hard to see it thru
So never let your words be lies or they'll come looking for you
It's a hard life to love hmm yeah
For the price of glory you left and threw your fortunes away
Never really cared too much for the job or the pay
You're standing in the rain with no cover but you never complain
You're an angry young man face to face but your mirror's insane
It's a hard life to love mmm
I'm simply refusing a part in your world
Cause I see, see how it burns
I see how it turns
And you're simply denyin' the fact that you're blind
And I see no more
I see red. I only see red
ooh yeah
Think of all the times I was hurting but you felt no pain
Think of all the lies you told me again and again
And still you seek the truth from those who continue to lie
And now you're seeking life from those who are living to die
It's a hard life to love mmm
I'm simply refusing a part in your world
Cause I see, see how it burns
I see how it turns
And you're simply denying the fact that you're blind
And I see no more
I see red. I only see red
Ooh yeah ooh (ooh yeah)
Livin' in the fast lane ain't easy when you've run out of road
Friends will turn to strangers when you've nowhere to go
Don't give a damn when you're lost cause you'll die from it all
Laws were made to be broken
And you do it for the thrill of it all
It's a hard life to love ooh yeah
It's a hard life to love ooh yeah
It's a hard life to love
I've run out of road, ooh
Hard life to love
I've run out of road, mmm yeah
It's a hard life to love
Glory Ride (4:48)
Winged with steel they fill the air
The soldiers of fortune will ride
Into the sights of the enemy's gun
Those who have taken their oaths tonight are well prepared
They know they'll do or die
Even if it's suicide
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Wasted lives and spirits run free
On wings of no return
Dressed to kill where eagles dare
The fate of a nation's at hand
Is this the answer to their prayer?
Come the dawn, thru the blood red skies
Return with tears in their eyes
And they recall thou shall not kill
And in the morning they'll take a hero's bow
And make the everlasting flight
Hear them callin' up above all across the skies
Hear them callin' up above from the other side
Hear them call!
Now
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Wasted lives and spirits run free
On the wings of no return
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Wasted lives and spirits run free
On the wings of no return
There's a fire in the sky
We all live to die
Ohh is this the answer?
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Born To Lose (3:43)
I'll play your game but if you lose you're gonna pay the price
Broken chains, like a prisoner freed at last
The fear inside just uped and died
Time will tell if I am wrong
Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long yeah
Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Well I'm not born to lose
Were not born to lose umm-umm
Ya curse my name as I turn and walk away from you
Ohh ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long
You don't scare me 'cos you're hard to see
And it's time that you were gone
Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long yeah
Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark
Well I'm not born to lose
Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark
What ya gonna do about it now?
What ya gonna do about it now?
Yeah yeah (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long, yeah ooh
Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long, yeah oh no
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ohh
Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark
What ya gonna do about it now?
What ya gonna do about it now?
There ain't nothing you can do about it now
Nightmare (5:17)
I close my eyes started dreamin'
See a vision filled with wings head my way
Hear a presence of unknown power
Telling me to come this is the only way
It's a dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't be fooled by the Devil's hand
Oh no
Silent screamer filled with fear
As the night-time shapes a face then disappears
Scared forever (implant) into believin'
That your mind has met the Prince of whom you see
It's a dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't be fooled by the Devil's hand
Oh no
It's dream within dream
Lost forever
Don't be fooled by the Devil, oh no!
RAY GILLEN: ha ha ha ha...
aooh hah hah ...
In your eyes the evil spirit rises
Blinded by the dark you fall into shame
As the reaper takes you down the spiral stairway
You share the evil pit with Satan's name
Nightmare, it's got me runnin'
Nightmare, it's calling you
Nightmare, it's got me runnin'
Nightmare, it's calling you
It's a dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't get fooled, by the Devil
It's dream within a dream
Lost forever
Don't be fooled by the Devil
It's got me runnin'
It's just a nightmare
It's got me runnin'
It's got me runnin'
You wake up in dreams
Scarlet Pimpernel (2:07)
Instrumental
Lost Forever (4:00)
All your life you've been slippin' and slidin' trying to find a way
Sun won't shine but now it's your time to pay
There's no turning back as you look the hangman in the eye
Now Hell's just your death away
It's too late to say you care
When there's evil in your stare
You say your not to blame
In your head voices mocking every prayer
Remember the face you saw that once was you
Spirits high there's no way that you could lose
Give him rope they said as you look the hangman in the eye
And now around your neck you feel the noose
It's too late to say you care
When there's evil in your stare
You say your not to blame
In your head voices mocking every prayer
Now you're lost forever
I'm burning with fire
It's time to leave or get out
I'm burning in fire
I can't take no more so get out
I'm burning with fire
The wheels of steel will grind you
I'm burning with fire it's time you're lost forever ha ha ha
Lost forever
There's an evil in your stare
Lost forever
Hell's just a breath away
Lost forever
And there's no way out
you burn with fire,
It's time to get out, get out, get out
Lost forever
There's evil in your stare
Lost forever
And there's no turning back
Lost forever
The wheels of steel will grind you
Lost forever
Lost forever
Lost forever
Eternal Idol (6:35)
No one said it had to be this way
Why are we the victims of their final word?
Dying world is killing us so slowly
I believe no god may save us now
Can ya see what I see?
Sinners say your prayers tonight
The judgement day is here
Child of tomorrow will die
Not even born
Jesus our questions
Never seems to hear
Dying for the answers may be
Price we pay
Ta find a key to our lives
Is there a heaven? Is there a hell?
Who's this god?
Tell me there's no god above
Why!
Oh
We choose what lord deep within our souls
He's not one thing
Ooh we are his spirit
We could save this world from destruction day
Can ya see what I see?
Can ya hear me cryin'?
Oh God can ya help me now?
Take my hand no home no home
Of God take my heaven
You and I are victims of their word
As the masters of power try to poison our world
Greed money taken over their souls
Just mechanical brains
Politicians don't know
They just don't know
Know
Know
Know
Just don't know
I die
Some Kind of Woman (3:03)
She's young, but lord what a woman she's quick as a brawl at five
She's class, one hell of a woman, she really confused my mind
She's bad, power of the pleasure is far enough ta chase
She's fast, power of the pedal is keeping up the pace
Wise up, she's some kind of woman
Wise up, you can't get away
Wise up, ooh just when you think that its safe
I'm gone, I can't justify when I ain't got some control
So long, I ain't gonna stop 'till I step right off this world
She's gone, I guess I'm the winner of an innocent little time
Don't look, a tap on the shoulder sends a shiver down my spine
Wise up, she's some kind of woman
Wise up, can't get away
Wise up, oh just when you think that its safe (safe) ...
She's back
Cryin', to give all the lovin' but I never was enough
I cried, I prayed up to Heaven but the Lord said, "Boy that's tough."
This smile, only served me to ruin me when I thought I had direction
That walk, how the hell did she do it every move was perfection
Wise up, she's some kind of woman
Wise up, you can't get away
Wise up, ooh just when you think that its safe
Ooh she's back
Ah she's back
Ahh my motors runnin'
It's buzzin'
Ooh she's back
Ah
Ooh she's back
Ooh
Cloak And Dagger
I remember the burning I felt inside
As you touched my frozen heart
I remember the screams and the pain within
As my soul was torn apart
I recall being hungry
And for years I stood my ground
Even though you were never, oh no never, never around
God, how I needed you
I remember they warned me, and oh how they told me
Yours was the kiss of shame
I remember the Devil coming to steal my soul again and again
I remember the dawn was breaking
In Cathedrals of unholy light
I was searching for answers where singers and dancers
Will travel on through the night
I've been hurt by Evil games
First you're here and then you aint
Cloak and dagger, yeah, yeah yeah
Cloak and dagger
Cloak and dagger, yeah, yeah yeah
Cloak and dagger
Oh there's something about you that doesn't seam real
You say if I don't sell my soul you will steal
A promise should stand I know the command
And me like a fool took it in
In the valley of Death do I stand in the shadow
Or fight for the right to be free?
A kiss on the wind whispers die, die for glory
No, no
Cloak and dagger - You've been playing those Evil games
Cloak and dagger - Set me free I don't need this pain
Cloak and dagger - Something about you just doesn't seem real
Cloak and dagger - Your say if I don't sell my soul you will steal
Cloak and dagger - Your kiss of shame has been hunting me
Cloak and dagger - God, how I needed you

The Law Maker
The horizon breaks where a figure stands
Close your eyes and pray it's a vision of God's command
He's evil and mysterious. People fear his name.
He's not here for deliverance.
No, no, no, he's the Lawmaker.
He's the Lawmaker.
He never speaks, though his task we're told
To seek out souls of the sinners, he'll trade for gold.
He's evil and mysterious. People fear his name.
He's not here for deliverance.
No, no, no, he's the Lawmaker.
He's the Lawmaker.
Silver mountains won't save you from hell.
The prince of darkness inside you will dwell.
Oh, you're weakness your past.

Jerusalem
Ohoh ohohoh
The highway's screamin', callin' out your name
Cause every road that you travel on, there's a price to pay.
A thousand eyes are starin' but the blind still lead the blind
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
You say you walk through the valley
You say you've seen the signs
Echoes call you from a distant age or is it in your mind?
When a thousand souls rise from the sea holding up the sun
And an angel cries "beware your lies"
It could be the end of it all.
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run,
Jerusalem?
Everybody knows your name
Every road leads to anger
Will it always be the same?
Is there reason to return?
Oh is there reason to return?
When a thousand souls rise from the sea holding up the sun
And an angel cries
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
When an angel cries
Jerusalem Ohoh ohohoh
Better watch your lies
Jerusalem Ohoh ohohoh
When an angel cries
Jerusalem Ohoh ohohoh
The Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
Wings that carry hell in every vein
World's possessions, endless tears
Truth and knowledge stolen all their years
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Words are poison, passion bleeds
2000 years on earth has sown the seeds
The time of dreams has turned
The night is gone and light shines on
Where darkness once would hide
With spirits high, our fears were born
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart Oh
Deceiver of night the stranger that laughs within you,
The reason for your restless heart Oh
Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
Wings that carry hell in every vein
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Can faith destroy desire?
Each breath a prayer, each step brings fear
The eyes of they that see, have evil stare, watch over me
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart Oh
Deceiver of night the stranger that laughs within you,
The reason for your restless heart Oh
Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
What God is this that stands to hear his people cry?
What hand would strike and watch his people die?
What life that takes, what future did we earn?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
What life that takes, what future did we earn?

The Battle Of Tyr
instrumental
Odin's Court
As you walk alone the night surrounds you like a shroud
The dreams you had were once of love and being proud
Misty horizons block your vision of the world
But the raven's eyes will show you all you need to know
Oh
The land you loved is now so barren and so cold
The name of God rings out so high in your soul
This time the masters will lead us by the sword
And should we fail then all prevails in Odin's court
Valhalla
Leading us on, to the land of Eternity
Riding the cold cold winds of Valhalla
The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods
Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace
But someone among them had the skill of deceit
And raised the hand that would open the road to Hel
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Valhalla Valhalla
The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved
Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hel
The longships are sailing and the chariots ride
And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
So raise your hands
Reach and Valhalla will save your soul
And raise your eyes
Odin will lead us on
They say that history repeats itself
Upon the year of the seventh Century
Well nobody knows, no you never can tell
So you'd better run now and hide away
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Valhalla
You can feel it in the air
Valhalla
Oh you better beware better beware
Valhalla
You can see it in his face
Valhalla
Oh he's the master of this place
Valhalla Valhalla Valhalla
Valhalla Valhalla Valhalla

Feels Good To Me
The chapter is opened, the pages are turned
The writings say many things but who was concerned?
Where can we run to now, when will we learn?
When it's lost it's gone forever.
For years they told me what I should do.
Down to the places I go and who I should talk to.
But that don't matter no more since I found out the truth
It feels good to me yeah
The world is turnin'
Forever turnin'
Forever yearnin'
For the love of life
And you're wrong if you think that I'm afraid to love.
It feels good
It feels good to me
It feels good
It feels good to me
I wonder, I wonder does it not seem strange to you
Just how the tables have turned on me and you?
How long can we go on livin', livin' the way we do?
When it's lost it's gone forever
The world is turnin'
Forever turnin'
Forever yearnin'
For the love of life
And you're wrong if you think that I'm afraid to love
It feels good
It feels good to me
Feels good
It feels good to me
It feels good
It feels good to me
Feels good

How long do we go on livin', livin' the way we do? yeah
It feels good

If I never saw another night
And I never saw another night
If I never saw another day
It would still feel good

Heaven In Black
Rising with the sun, the work has been done
But people are starting to stare
Called from afar to the court of the Czar
Could it be something is wrong?
No
You stand face to face and your heart gathers pace
For the answer to a questioning prize
If only you had known to be honest was wrong
For the work that you've done you will pay with your eyes
Don't be afraid you will never lose your love.
Into the black where the night never ends and the light
Leaves a scar on your soul where your heart used to hold your love here!
Heaven in Black
Inside there's a voice saying was there a choice?
You'd still be entombed in the night
Lucifer's to blame, the reason for the flame
They've taken your sight but they'll not take your God
Don't be afraid you will never lose your love.
Into the black where the night
never ends and the light
leaves a scar on your soul
where your heart used to hold
your love here!
Heaven in Black
Into the black where the night
never ends and the light
leaves a scar on your soul
where your heart used to hold
your love here!
Into the black where the night
never ends and the light

where your heart used to hold

COMPUTER GOD (6:10)
oofff
Waiting for the revolution
New clear vision - genocide
Computerize god - it's the new religion
Program the brain - not the heartbeat
Onward all you crystal soldiers
Touch tomorrow - energize
Digital dreams
And you're the next correction
Man's a mistake so we'll fix it, yeah
Take a look at your own reflection
Right before your eyes
It turns to steel
There's another side of heaven
This way - to technical paradise
Find it on the other side
When the walls fall down
Love is automatic pleasure
Virtual reality
Terminal hate - it's a calculation
Send in the child for connection
Take a look at the toys around you
Right before your eyes
The toys are real
There's another side of heaven
This way - to technical paradise
Find it on the other side
When the walls fall down
Midnight confessions
Never heal the soul
What you believe is fantasy
Your past is your future
Left behind
Lost in time
Will you surrender?
Waiting for the revolution
Program the brain
Not the heartbeat
Deliver us to evil
Deny us of our faith
Robotic hearts bleed poison
On the world we populate
Virtual existence
With a superhuman mind
The ultimate creation
Destroyer of mankind
Termination of our youth
For we do not compute
No!
AFTER ALL (THE DEAD) (5:37)
What do you say to the dead?
Will you forgive me for living?
Can't believe the things that they said
Wonderful day for a killing
It's killing me
What do they do with your soul?
Is it just lying there busted?
When did you lose all control?
Is there someone to be trusted,
With my mind?
Oh there's insufficient evidence
Of what just might come after
But sometimes out of nowhere
There's demented sounds of laughter
Are we all haunted by the ghost - imagination?
It just can't be
I've seen them there
Howling at the moon
Is it just me or does somebody else believe this?
Well I'm not alone
And I'm not afraid
There's just one way to see
After all. After all. After all. After all.
What do you say to the dead?
Is there a place where it's burning?
It says in a book I once read
Yes there's a chance of returning
Turn to me
The fundamental principles
Say nothing of forever
But those are voices that I hear
Or I'm just not so clever
It can't be me I know somebody else believes this
Well I'm not alone
I'm not afraid
Just one way to see
After all. After all. Coming after all
After all. After all.
(ah-ah-ah...)
After all.
After all.
TV CRIMES (3:58)
One day in the life of the lonely
Another day on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love
One night in the life of the lonely
There's a miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love
He guarantees you instant glory
Get your money on the line
Gotta send me a plastic Jesus
There's a check in the mail today
That's what I need
Somebody to love
We just won't eat on Sunday
Gotta buy him a limousine
Somewhere to live
Somewhere to pray
Every penny from the people
Keeps the wolf outside the door
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he'll give you more, yeah
Holy father
Holy ghost
Who's the one who pays the most
Rock the cradle don't you cry
Buy another lullaby
Jack is nimble, Jack is quick
Pick your pocket, turn a trick
Slow and steady, he's got time
To commit another TV crime
TV crime
One day in the life of the lonely
Back again on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love
Yeah
One night in the life of the lonely
Another miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love again
A supermarket of salvation
Take a look inside the store
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he gives more
Holy father
Holy ghost
Who's the one who hurt you most
Rock the cradle when you cry
Scream another lullaby
Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
Take the money, get out quick
Slow and steady, so much time
To commit another
TV Crime, TV Crimes
LETTERS FROM EARTH (4:12)
Well it's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you

And I'm sending you some
Letters from earth, yeah
Well it's a new world

Ask them why they say you'll never, never die
Come on - the game is called the end
Well it's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you

Oh no no
I'm only sending
Letters from the earth

MASTER OF INSANITY (5:54)
Look all around
Can't you open your eyes?
Voices are calling
Killing rain falling down from the sky
Crying with nightmare tears
Out on the street
You see blood on the ground
Cities are burning
Feeling the pain cutting right to your soul
Goodbye now
Caught in his spell
Your freedom is gone
He's taken everything
You ever had
But if you're strong you survive
You've got to hold on
Open your eyes
Behind the lies you will see
The master of insanity
Under the mask there will be
The master of insanity yeah
Innocent minds
They're the victims of shame
Staring in sorrow
Promises lying there
Broken and crushed
Confusion - just disappear
What can you give?
To be left all alone
When there's nothing at all
Your freedom is gone
He's taken everything
You ever had
But if you're strong you survive
You've got to hold on
Open your eyes
Behind the lies you will see
The master of insanity
Under the mask there will be
The master of insanity
Behind the lies you will find
He's trying to get inside you
Just open your eyes and you will see
The master of insanity
Oh. Behind the lies you will see
The master of insanity
Under the mask there will be
The master of insanity
Between the lies you will find
That he's trying to get inside you
Out of the night into your mind
Oh he's always right beside you
Yeah, between the lies you will see
The master of insanity
Open your eyes or you will be
The master of insanity
TIME MACHINE (4:10)
Oh what are you gonna do
When there's a part of you
That needs to run with the wind?
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows
Now looks like the change is on
Tomorrow's never gone
Today just never come
Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When you've open up your eyes
You've got to see promises they've made
They're bloody lies and broken dream
Your silence screamed
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that you've never seen
Somewhere you've never been
You're living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch that wind?
And the fire of burnin' yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When you've opened up your eyes
You'll see you've got invisible chains
They're only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent scream
You're living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where you've never been
Make it to somewhere you don't know
Living in a time machine
Why do you stay who you are
Be what you've never been
Someone you've never seen
You're living in a time machine
Yeah
SINS OF THE FATHER (4:43)
I am the crazy man
Who lives inside your head
But I think I'm breaking through the wall
You are the innocent
Convicted of the crime
No one was ever there
To catch you when you fall
I see the diamonds
But you only see the rock
I need to run
And you only crawl
It's time to open up
All the doors that you keep locked
Nobody gives without a take
Let's take it all
Oh you've been twisted into pieces
By the hands of your emotions
How much longer are you gonna pay
For yesterday
Sins of the father?
One more crucifixion
One more cross to bear
You're a hole in a photograph
Go on - lose it in the city
The city can feel no shame
See the world with electric eye
They call it mystery
But any fool could see
You thought he walked on the water
And if the pain was gone
And you were free to run away
And get out
Would you get out of there
Or do you really care
It's not safe or easy
And maybe when you're gone
You just won't belong at all
Oh. You're the only witness
To the murder of an angel
How much longer are you gonna pay
For yesterday
Sins of the father?
Now it('s) just another crucifixion
One more cross to bear
Go on lose it in the city
Take a look at the world
You got electric eyes
TOO LATE (6:54)
Soon it's never more
When you've got to pay for
Promises - made in the night
Call the magic one
And with the magic comes
Forever chained to the flame
Chorus:
It's too late
Too late - for tears
Too late - (And) no one hears you
Do you feel the touch of evil
(then) It's too late
To wish and make it so
To feel the power growing
Stronger - blessed by the dark
And when the candle fades
You can say it was a joke you played
So you must let me go - no
It's too late
You've said the word
Too late - something heard you
Too late - now the race is on
And you're run out of road
Too late - for tears
Too late - and no one hears you
Can you feel the touch of evil
It's too late
Oh oh oh save me
I believe in your name
Oh oh I've fallen down
But now I've found
Nobody to take the blame
Misery
(It's) come to drag me away
(And) when the hunter cries
No alibis
Get ready for judgement day-hey
As the candle fades
You can say it was a game you made
So you must let me go, let me go
It's too late - you've said the word
Too late - something heard you
Too late - the spell is gone
And this time you're the fool
It's too late for tears
Too late - (and) no one hears you
Welcome to forever
Welcome it's too late
Too late
I (5:10)
hmhmhm hmm
hmhmhm hmm hmhmhm hmm
I am anger
Under pressure
Left in cages
A prisoner
The first to escape
I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one
Chorus:
I - I - I
Everything that I see is for me
Yes, I am giant
I'm a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don't try it
The power's in one
Chorus:
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But the knife can't cut the hero down
I am virgin
I'm a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I'll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You'll never
Be stronger than me
Chorus:
I - I - I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I - I - I
Don't follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed (No no no)
(No no no)
I am hunger (No no no)
Feed my head (No no no)
All together
You'll never
Never make the hero bleed (No no no)
BURIED ALIVE (4:47)
Once upon a nightmare
Once upon a time
You were running from temptation
You got lost
And found that you don't
Belong to anybody
(Now) You're all the same
Just another number
Cross it out
Whenever you don't behave
Yeah someone get the doctor
He knows what to do
Throw some bones and mumble
The devil's inside of you
It might be contagious
It might change the plan
Get back in your tiny boxes
Even if you can't
We say you can
Join the congregation
Everybody's got to get in line and
We never justify
The choir sings a never-ending lie
Pre-chorus:
When you thought you were free
You didn't need a reason
No reason to survive
Chorus:
As the big door closes
And you waiting for the nail
Somebody tell the world
You're buried alive
Once upon that nightmare
Once upon a time
Running from tomorrow
You got lost
And found that another
Day has turned to ashes
Been taken by the wind
Frozen seeds of sorrow
Never to begin
Join the celebration
Everybody's got to get in line and
We never justify
The choir sings a never-ending lie
Pre-chorus:
When you thought you were free
You did not need a reason
No reason to survive
Chorus:
As the big door closes
And you waiting for the nail
Somebody tell the world
You're buried a lie
One more nightmare
Just one more time
Join the congregation
Everybody get in line
Celebration
The choir sings a lie
As you call
The hammer falls
(And) no one hears you cry
I'm buried alive
TIME MACHINE (Wayne's World Version)
Oh what are you gonna do
When there's a part of you
That needs to chase the wind?
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
If you listen to fools then
Now it's like the chains are on
Today is never gone
Tomorrow never come(s)
Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there
To open up your mind
Looking at the world
Through your innocent eyes
You're seeing the promises - no
They're only lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams
But you're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that you've never seen
Somewhere that you've never been
You're living in a time machine
Ohoh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch the wind?
(Bad man can man/And and and and) the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking at the world
Through your innocent eyes
You're seeing the promises no
They're only lies and broken dreams
I hear your silent screamed
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just where to go
Somewhere that you've never been
The somewhere you don't know
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that's never seen
Someone you never been
You're living in a time machine
LETTERS FROM EARTH (alternative version)
It's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you
They never understand
So I'm sending you some
Letters from earth, yeah
It's a new world
And now I'm a stranger
Stranger than you know
I don't belong here
And I'm writing to you
With blood on my hands
What if I send you madness?
What if I send you pain
And letters from earth?
Oh all right
I see through the masquerade
The secret faces that lie behind the smile
They can make the water taste just like the wine
Come on it's another game
And we gotta play on
They say it's just pretend
But did you ever ask them why
The game is called the end?
I don't want your money man
I just want a part of you
I can hear your voice again
It seems to belong in my brain
I don't want your pity no
I just want the heart out of you
Do you think I said too much
Well now ha! Don't be afraid
What if I send confusion?
What is the time and the pain worth?
Oh no no
I'm only sending

(Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi)
When it's over, find the answer running in the whispering rain.
(Spirito sanctus anno anno mundi)
Anno mundi can ya wonder truth or thunder, life or blame?
Do ya see a vision of a perfect place?

Do you need a mirror? Do you see it well?
Does the hand of God still toll the bell?
There are people laughin'. They're all laughin' at you.
If only they could see what you're sayin' was true. Ooh yeah

As the winds of the night blows cold
Your eyes are burnin'
And the sands of our time grow old.

Are you among the blind, so easily lead?
Do you join in the war?
Do you fight for the cause?
Depend on another to fight it alone?

Your eyes are burnin'
And the sands of our time grow old.

The Law Maker
The horizon breaks where a figure stands
Close your eyes and pray it's a vision of God's command
He's evil and mysterious. People fear his name.
He's not here for deliverance.
No, no, no, he's the Lawmaker.
He's the Lawmaker.
He never speaks, though his task we're told
To seek out souls of the sinners, he'll trade for gold.
He's evil and mysterious. People fear his name.
He's not here for deliverance.
No, no, no, he's the Lawmaker.
He's the Lawmaker.
Silver mountains won't save you from hell.
The prince of darkness inside you will dwell.
Oh, you're weakness your past.
The Lawmaker comes.
He's evil and mysterious. People fear his name.
He's not here for deliverance.
No, no, no, he's the Lawmaker.
He's the Lawmaker.

Jerusalem
Ohoh ohohoh
The highway's screamin', callin' out your name
Cause every road that you travel on, there's a price to pay.
A thousand eyes are starin' but the blind still lead the blind
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
You say you walk through the valley
You say you've seen the signs
Echoes call you from a distant age or is it in your mind?
When a thousand souls rise from the sea holding up the sun
And an angel cries "beware your lies"
It could be the end of it all.
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run,
Jerusalem?
Everybody knows your name
Every road leads to anger
Will it always be the same?
Is there reason to return?
Oh is there reason to return?
When a thousand souls rise from the sea holding up the sun
And an angel cries
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem? Ohoh ohohoh
When an angel cries
Jerusalem Ohoh ohohoh
Better watch your lies
Jerusalem Ohoh ohohoh
When an angel cries
Jerusalem Ohoh ohohoh
The Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
Wings that carry hell in every vein
World's possessions, endless tears
Truth and knowledge stolen all their years
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Words are poison, passion bleeds
2000 years on earth has sown the seeds
The time of dreams has turned
The night is gone and light shines on
Where darkness once would hide
With spirits high, our fears were born
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart Oh
Deceiver of night the stranger that laughs within you,
The reason for your restless heart Oh
Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
Wings that carry hell in every vein
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Can faith destroy desire?
Each breath a prayer, each step brings fear
The eyes of they that see, have evil stare, watch over me
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart Oh
Deceiver of night the stranger that laughs within you,
The reason for your restless heart Oh
Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
What God is this that stands to hear his people cry?
What hand would strike and watch his people die?
What life that takes, what future did we earn?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
What life that takes, what future did we earn?
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
It's our mistakes now
The Battle Of Tyr
instrumental
Odin's Court
As you walk alone the night surrounds you like a shroud
The dreams you had were once of love and being proud
Misty horizons block your vision of the world
But the raven's eyes will show you all you need to know
Oh
The land you loved is now so barren and so cold
The name of God rings out so high in your soul
This time the masters will lead us by the sword
And should we fail then all prevails in Odin's court
Valhalla
Leading us on, to the land of Eternity
Riding the cold cold winds of Valhalla
The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods
Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace
But someone among them had the skill of deceit
And raised the hand that would open the road to Hel
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Valhalla Valhalla
The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved
Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hel
The longships are sailing and the chariots ride
And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
So raise your hands
Reach and Valhalla will save your soul
And raise your eyes
Odin will lead us on
They say that history repeats itself
Upon the year of the seventh Century
Well nobody knows, no you never can tell
So you'd better run now and hide away
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Valhalla
You can feel it in the air
Valhalla
Oh you better beware better beware
Valhalla
You can see it in his face
Valhalla
Oh he's the master of this place
Valhalla Valhalla Valhalla
Valhalla Valhalla Valhalla
Valhalla
Feels Good To Me
The chapter is opened, the pages are turned
The writings say many things but who was concerned?
Where can we run to now, when will we learn?
When it's lost it's gone forever.
For years they told me what I should do.
Down to the places I go and who I should talk to.
But that don't matter no more since I found out the truth
It feels good to me yeah
The world is turnin'
Forever turnin'
Forever yearnin'
For the love of life
And you're wrong if you think that I'm afraid to love.
It feels good
It feels good to me
It feels good
It feels good to me
I wonder, I wonder does it not seem strange to you
Just how the tables have turned on me and you?
How long can we go on livin', livin' the way we do?
When it's lost it's gone forever
The world is turnin'
Forever turnin'
Forever yearnin'
For the love of life
And you're wrong if you think that I'm afraid to love
It feels good
It feels good to me
Feels good
It feels good to me
It feels good
It feels good to me
Feels good
It feels good
to me
How long do we go on livin', livin' the way we do? yeah
It feels good
It feels good to me
Feels good
It feels good to me
It feels good
It feels good to me
Feels good
If I never saw another night
And I never saw another night
If I never saw another day
It would still feel good

Heaven In Black
Rising with the sun, the work has been done
But people are starting to stare
Called from afar to the court of the Czar
Could it be something is wrong?
No
You stand face to face and your heart gathers pace
For the answer to a questioning prize
If only you had known to be honest was wrong
For the work that you've done you will pay with your eyes
Don't be afraid you will never lose your love.
Into the black where the night never ends and the light
Leaves a scar on your soul where your heart used to hold your love here!
Heaven in Black
Inside there's a voice saying was there a choice?
You'd still be entombed in the night
Lucifer's to blame, the reason for the flame
They've taken your sight but they'll not take your God
Don't be afraid you will never lose your love.
Into the black where the night
never ends and the light
leaves a scar on your soul
where your heart used to hold
your love here!
Heaven in Black
Into the black where the night
never ends and the light
leaves a scar on your soul
where your heart used to hold
your love here!
Into the black where the night
never ends and the light
leaves a scar on your soul
where your heart used to hold
your love here!
Heaven in Black

I WITNESS
Across the desert of the burning dark
Darkness which illuminates you
There's a place you've always wanted to be
Whose pleasures always did escape you
It's always been so out of reach
Nothing so near ever felt so far uh ah
And now it's here within your grasp
A never ending burning says it all
As he drive into the darkness
In front the future behind you history Oh-o
Caught alone in the dark night
Do ya think that the way it's supposed to be?
Ya don't believe your eyes
Cause all they see is lies oh yeah
You better run from the holy man
The eyes that will are set upon you
Listen not to verse and prayer
Songs that thrill, our voices tempt you uh ah
The inner flame has fear of death
Never has light ever seem so dark
Pilgrims of sabbocrasy hear the hounds of heaven as they bark
As he drive in to the darkness
In front the future behind you history Oh oh
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
Ya don't believe your eyes cause all they see is lies
I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream
As he drive in to the darkness
In front the future behind you history
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
Ya don't believe your eyes and all you see is lies Oh yeah
I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream
I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream woah just a dream
CROSS OF THORNS
(Ahhh, Ahhh)
(Ahhh, Ahhh) ...
Don't come closer, cos it ain't safe here.
Just turn around now and walk away.
I gotta tell ya, there are no rules here.
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there, behind those eyes.
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you
And young ones crying with their heads to their hands.
When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful,
You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands
From a cross of thorns,
Cross of thorns.
Tongues of fire always talking, wasted words that ring in my ears.
We're still waiting, losing patience, with all the lies of four hundred years.
I gotta tell ya there are no rules here.
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there, behind those eyes.
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you
And young ones crying with their heads in their hands.
When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful,
You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands.
We gave you yesterday and now you want today.
Oh from the hands of death we take our daily bread.
Now all we do is choke, and the words that you once spoke fade away,
Fade away.
Look at what you've done,
It's a cross of thorns,
Cross of thorns.
Take away oh this cross of thorns.
Look at what you've done, woah.
Look at what you've done.
It's a cross of thorns.
When a promise is broken and noone trusts you.
You've got blood on your hands from a cross of thorns.
PSYCHOPHOBIA
Mortal eyes, looking through a veil of dreams,
Hypnotised, an ever living soul with wings,
Think you're god but you never had control.
Think you're loved but there's no one there at all...
My colours all run dry, and now I see the world in black and white.
It's too late now, it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.
Poison tears running from a palsied face,
Satan nears, descending on the human race,
Think you're god, don't you wish you had control.
Think you're loved, but there's no one there at all...
My colours all run dry, and now I see the world in black and white.
It's too late now, it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.
Listen to the wind, hear the gospel blow.
Tell me that you don't hear what I'm hearing and I let you go.
Look up to the sky, put your trust in me.
Tell me that you ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' and I will set you free.
Alright.
Look into the flame, see the embers glow.
Tell me that don't see what I'm seeing and I will let you go.
Taste the holy blood, runnin' from my veins.
Tell me that you don't feel what I'm feelin' and I'll take away the pain.
Yes I will now, oh yes I will.
Oh oh it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.
VIRTUAL DEATH
Reach out and take for me, fruit of the poison tree.
Give me your body and your soul.
My youth is fading fast, years melt into the past.
This mortal life will take it's toll.
I'm sick and tired of losing, you find this so amusing.
It's all I have to keep myself in this state I'm in.
This spark of nature's fire, my only one desire.
This world is hanging by a thread.
I'm sick and tired of losing, you find this so amusing.
It's all I have to keep myself in this state I'm in.
People always tried to change me, alter everything I am.
So many faces staring in on me, you left me in this state I'm in.
Virtual death (death death death death death death).
You may think this existance, is just a human weakness.
Inside my mind it's near the end.
Virtual death (death death death).
I'm losing. I'm fading fast. I'm dying (dying).
Virtual death.
I'm floating. I'm fading fast. I'm dying (dying).
Virtual death (death death death).
IMMACULATE DECEPTION
In the daylight, comes darkness.
On the verge of night a fear is born.
Sweeter than the dream, the reality of you.
Immaculate deception. Deception.
From the spirit runs poison, and the wheel of fortune is ever still.
Sweeter than the light, the darkness of your soul.
Immaculate deception. Deception.
Something has touched, the spirit inside.
Once there was love now there's a void.
Nights of deception, ghosts in my mind.
Am I bewitched, slave to desire.
It's knowing that time keeps rolling on, night after day, day after night.
It's knowing that feeling of coming home to where my spirit lies.
It's knowing that feeling of coming home to where my spirit lies.
DYING FOR LOVE
Can you hear, the people sing their songs?
To tunes of glory, they move as one.
Refugees of liberation marching on,
Sing your songs, rock the nation, write of wrongs.
When you take a life and steal it's shadow
All that's left is humanity.
It's gettin' closer, a change is bound to come.
There's someone out there holding candles to the sun.
Then an answer says that peace will come around.
Stand in line, take your time and be proud.
You take a life and steal it's shadow
All that's left is humanity eh.
Take a man and steal tomorrow
All that's left is you and me. Oh yeah.
Hear them call you
Soldiers all in the field of love.

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE
Young life, too young, who's eyes are choking.
Can't rest, can't sleep for dreams that set you falling.
Don't feel the hunger.
Can't drink no holy water.
No light in these eyes.
No place for dreams at all tonight.
When the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that holds the knife.
And the knife that cuts the cable
Is the spark that feeds the life.
No grave could be deep enough, down to hell if we were able.
The veil of life was pushed aside by the hand that rocks the cradle.
The oath you take is sacred, to save not steal the life.
Like the ending of the sweetest soul that looked through human eyes.
No grave could be deep enough, down to hell if we were able.
The veil of life was pushed aside by the hand that rocks the cradle yeah.
Young life, too young, whose eyes are choking.
Can't rest, can't sleep for dreams that set you falling.
Don't feel the hunger.
Can't drink no holy water.
No light in these eyes.
No place for dreams at all tonight.
Death.
yeath.
Ooh yeah.
It's the hand that rocks the cradle.
It's the hand that steals the life.
It's the hand that rocks the cradle.
It's the hand that steals the life.
CARDINAL SIN
Where do you go when your conscience takes over?
Do you crawl to your corner and cry?
Did you imagine that noone would notice?
Just a secret to take when you die.
All the world is watching you
Every tongue is screaming,
Sinner.
How are your dreams? Do they claw at your sleep?
Making darkness a place you despise.
Where is the god that once was your strength?
Are ya sure he was there from the start?
All the world is watching you.
Nowhere you can hide.
Every tongue is screaming.
Only Satan hears your cries.
When you sin cardinal sin,
You make your bed and on it you must lie.
You must must lie.
And your future's lookin' grim
But did you ever give a damn about the child?
He's runnin' wild.
When you sin cardinal sin,
Don't expect the world will treat you well.
Do you think that God will forgive you of your sins now
When you need to sell your soul?
We point the finger
Sin cardinal sin.
Laugh in your face
Sin cardinal sin.
We point the finger
Laugh in your face
Cause you're no better
Than the rest of the human race.
Woah
Sin cardinal sin.
Woah
Sin cardinal sin.
EVIL EYE
Something about the way that you look on me
You watch every move, every word, every fantasy
Got no time for love somethin' on your mind
Got the face of an angel, but the stare from a devil inside.
I got hell lookin' up
Heaven looking down
People say the woman's got an evil eye
I got hell lookin' up
Heaven's looking down
Free me from the woman with the evil eye.
I turned away but still I see your evil stare.
Trapped inside my dreams I know you're there
Thoughts of happiness you destroyed them all.
First inside my head then inside my soul.
I got hell lookin' up
I got Heaven looking down
People say the woman's got an evil eye
I got hell lookin' up
Heaven looking down
Free me from the woman with the evil eye.
Evil eye
Evil eye

I got hell lookin' up
Heaven looking down
Free me from the power of the evil eye.

WHAT'S THE USE?
What's the use of paradise when everyday of living is spent learning every sin in hell?
What's the point of children when the evil come before them
They learn in every tale we tell?
There's no point in being kind
What's the use when love becomes an evil of the mind? Oh yeah.
What's the use of power when the balance isn't equal
And you're too scared to use it anyway?
What's the point of reason when noone wants to listen?
Deliverance is all too far away.
There's no point in being kind
What's the use when love becomes an evil of the mind?
Ooo What's the use?
There's no point in being kind
What's the use when love becomes an evil of the mind?

The introduction is a riff collage consisting of
DEATH MASK, ANNO MUNDI, BLACK SABBATH (three note part)
and BLACK SABBATH (ending).
All followed by a short segment of SUPERTZAR which is
immediately stepped on by the band starting up TIME MACHINE.
Indexed as part of TIME MACHINE
TIME MACHINE
Woah what are ya gonna do?
When there's a part of you
That needs to run with the wind?
And the fire of burning yesterday
Can only light the way
To lead you from
(The) garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows
Now - looks like the change is on
Tomorrow's never gone
Today just never come
Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When you've open up your eyes
You've got to see promises they've made
They're only lies not what it seems
Your silence screams
Living in a time machine
You can choose just who you are
Somewhere you've never been
Somewhere you've never seen
Living in a time machine
T.M.: Geezer Butler
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to run with the wind?
And the fire of burnin' yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When you've opened up your eyes
You'll see you've got invisible chains
They're only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent screams
Living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where you've never been
Make it to somewhere you don't know
Living in a time machine
You can choose just who you are
Someone you've never been
Someone you've never seen
Living in a time machine
Living in a time machine
Woah yeah
Living in a time machine
Woah
CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE
Oh!
Revolution in their minds, the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
All the hate that's in their heart
(They're) tired of being pushed around and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through. Yeah!
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
T.M.: Let's see those hands come on
People in the back come on let's see it
Show me the side
Sing with me
Woah-ect.
Yeah
So you children of the world listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live then spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave,
Or you children of the world are children of the grave. Yea!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Welcome to the Black Sabbath tour of nineteen ninety four.

We're gonna play the first track from the first side of this new album.
It's called I Witness.
I WITNESS
Across the desert of the burning dark
A darkness which illuminates you
There's a place you've always wanted to be
Whose pleasures always did escape you
It's always been so out of reach
Nothing so near ever felt so far
And now it's here within your grasp
A never ending burning says it all
As you drive into the darkness
In front the future behind you history yeah
Caught alone in the dark night
Do ya think that the way it's supposed to be. No
Don't believe your eyes
Cause all they see is lies oh yeah
You better run from the holy man
The eyes that will are set upon you
Listen not to verse and prayer
Songs that thrill our voices how they tempt you
The inner flame has fear of death
Never has light ever seem so dark
Pilgrims of sabbocrasy hear the hounds of heaven as they bark
As you drive in to the darkness
In front the future behind you history Woah oh
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be, it's supposed to be

MOB RULES
Thank you very much yeah

Yeah, Hammersmith the center of the universe, heh heh heh.
Now when we tried to put this set together we felt that every part of Black Sabbath's
history should be included. Ya know what I'm saying?
It's a kind of impossible job with the amount of songs that's available to us
but this next track is one song that we felt had a fuckin good place in this set.
Children of the eighties you're going to love this one, take a listen.
Ah come on
Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall
It's nothing to say
You're breaking away come on
When you listen to fools

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire and, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh
It's over it's done
The end has begun
If you listen to fool yo
The mob rules...
There nothing to say
You're breaking away
If you listen to fools
Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground

INTO THE VOID
Alright. Sing with us come on.
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast,
Up into the night sky they blast,
Through the universe the engines whine,
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low,
Ev'rywhere is misery and woe,
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea,
Man prepares to meet his destiny. Yeah. Woah yeah.
Come on. Rocket engines burning fuel so fast,
Up into the black sky so vast,
Burning metal through the atmosphere,
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on,
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
Through the empires of eternal void
Freedom from the final suicide yeah suicide.
Alright. Freedom fighters sent out to the sun,
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate,
Find another world where freedom waits. Yeah
Past the stars in fields of ancient void,
Through the shields of darkness where they find,
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slave
Leave them to their future in their graves
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness in every way yeah. Woah yeah.
ANNO MUNDI
Can ya see me? Are ya near me? Can ya hear me cryin' out for life?

When it's over, you find the answer running in the whispering rain.
Anno mundi can ya wonder truth or thunder, life or blame?
Do ya see a vision of a perfect place?
Does it make you laugh, put a smile on your face?
Do you need a mirror? Do you see it well?
Does the hand of God still toll the bell?
There are people laughin'. They're all laughin' at you.
If only you could see what you're sayin' was true.

Hypnotised, an ever living soul with wings,
Think you're god don't you wish you had control?
Think you're loved but there's no one there at all...
My colours all run dry, and now I see the world in black and white.
It's too late now, it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.
Poison tears running down a palsied face,
Satan nears, descending on the human race,
Think you're god, don't you wish you had control?
Think you're loved, but there's no one there at all...
My colours all run dry, and now I see the world in black and white.
It's too late now, it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.
Listen to the wind, hear the gospel blow.
Tell me that you don't hear what I'm hearing and I will let you go.
Look up to the sky, put your trust in me.
Tell me that you don't see what I'm seeing and I will set you free.
Oh alright.
Look into the flame, see the embers glow.

CROSS OF THORNS
(Ahhh, Ahhh)
(Ahhh, Ahhh)
Don't come closer, cos it ain't safe here.
Just turn around now, I walk away.
I gotta tell ya, there are no rules here.
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there, behind those eyes.
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you
And young ones crying with their heads in their hands.
When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful,
You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands
From a cross of thorns,
Cross of thorns.
Tongues of fire always talking, wasted words that ring in my ears.
We're still waiting, losing patience with all the lies of four hundred years.
I gotta tell ya there are no rules here.
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there, behind those eyes.
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you
And young ones crying with their heads in their hands.
When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful,
You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands.
We gave you yesterday and now you want today.
Oh from the hands of death we take our daily bread.
Now all we do is choke, and the words that we once spoke fade away, yeah
Oh, fade away.
Look at what you've done, yeah, woah, it's a cross of thorns,
Cross of thorns.
Take away oh yeah this cross of thorns.
Look at what you've done, woah yeah.
Ah yeah.
It's a cross of thorns.
Cross of thorns.
When a promise is broken and noone trusts you.
You've got blood on your hands from a cross of thorns.
Cross of thorns.
Thank you for listening.

Rondelnelli Drum solo
HEADLESS CROSS
T.M.:That's yeah, Bobby Rondinelli on drums
This is from the Headless Cross, yeah
See some hands
Look through the people and on through the mist
To the hill of the headless cross,
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this
And the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul,
With an angel that fell from the sky.
Borne on the air, are the screams and the wails
Of the masses appointed to die.
Listen to the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder, woah
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
Oh no, no, no, at the headless cross, at the headless cross.
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground, yeah.
There's been no escape from the power of Satan.
On a nation so brave and so proud
Listen to the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder, woah.
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
Oh no, no, no, at the headless cross, at the headless cross, yeah.
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground, yeah.
There's been no escape from the power of Satan.

PARANOID
Alright, come on.
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time, yeah
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Alright, let's hear some voices, yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Yeah people in the back come on
Woah yeah
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal, woah, so unreal yeah
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state

Woah heaven and hell come on

I AM IRON MAN!

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall?
(Woah-)
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there,
Why should we even care?
Woah let's hear those voices
(Woah- come on woah-)
He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him;
He just stares at the world,
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfold
Alright, I am
SABBATH, BLOODY SABBATH
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
You see right through distorted eyes, you know you have to learn,
The execution of your mind, you really have to turn.
The race is run, the book is read, the end begins to show.
The truth is out, the lies are old, but you don't want to know.
Nobody will ever let you know,
When you ask the reasons why.
They just tell you that you're on your own,
Fill your head full of lies, yeah.
The people who have crippled you, you wanna see them burn.
The gates of life have closed on you, you know there's no return.
You're wishing that the hand of doom would take your mind away.
And you don't care if you don't see again the light of day.
Nobody will ever let you know,
When you ask the reasons why.
They just tell you that you're on your own,
Fill your head full of lies.
You bastard!
Where can you run to? What more can you do?
No more tomorrows; life is killing you.
Dreams turn into nightmares, heaven turns into hell.
Burns out confusion, nothing more to tell.
Oh.
Oh yeah
Ev'rything around you, what's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows; (bog/god) (blast/blessed) all of you.
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, nothing more to do.
Living just for dying, dying just for you
Yeah.
Thank you very much. Thank you Hammersmith.
Bobby Rondinelli, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Geoff Nicholls and myself Tony Martin
wish you all the best, you take care, we'll see ya again ok.

THE ILLUSION OF POWER
What is it that turns you on to the illusion of power?
This thing that grabs you by the heart and makes you wanna tear things down.
There is no reason why I should need all this power
But if you cross me now, I'm gonna tear your whole world down
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
I can't get the emotional things straight in my head
Everything I love dies too soon or is already dead
Don't stand too close I spit and breathe fire
Anything I've got now you can not desire
You wanna be my friend I promise you nothing
Nothing I can give you, nothing I can do for you
I'm being chased by the sins of my past and it's killing me now,
Killing me now
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power, it's already set, signed, and sealed
Illusion of power
Powerful! Who are you foolin?
You're caught in a complex catacomb of your own inadequacies
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
and pitiful weaknesses.
Your soul secretes insecurity (ha ha ha ha)
so you live on the reflection side of the mirror;
you're terrified of true power.
YOU FEAR ME!
I can tell you stories of my
Shaded past and I can
Drag you down into the
Depths of my soul
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power, it's already set, signed, and sealed
Illusion of power
Why don't you come closer? (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Promise a story I will tell, yeah,
I'll save you from your dreams yeah, (Ha ha ha (yeah) ha ha ha ha)
Save you from your dreams. (Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
YOU FEAR ME!
It's illusion just an illusion
Illusion just an illusion
GET A GRIP
I see it on the TV, it's playing on my mind.
Everything I see has got something to do with killing my brother.
Just another mind game, or maybe it's a sign?
When the child with a gun holds it up to the head of his brother.
That ain't nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life.
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip, yeah.
Somebody tell me, where did we lose?
Where's the point that we lost the control to live with each other?
Mister politician, searching for a lie.
What's the truth, will the youth find the proof for a revolution?
Cause that ain't nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life.
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip, on ice.
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life.
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip.
Gotta get a hold of the situation, gotta get you into my life.
Gotta get a hold, get it moving.
I can't tell you what you need to know, it's up to you, oh yeah.
That ain't nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life.
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip, on ice.
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life.
Gotta get a grip cause you're gonna slip.
Gotta get a hold of my situation, gotta get a hold on life.
Gotta get a grip, get it moving.
I can't tell you what you need to know, it's up to you, yeah.
Here we go.
Don't your blood run cold, don't the sorrow show?
Hold on tight to what you have.
See it in your eyes, don't it make you cry?
Get a grip let's shake the can.
Get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah.
Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a hold.
Get a grip on life, get a grip on life, get a grip on life,
(Yeah get a grip.)
CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO YOU
How many tears must we cry before learning
Things that we have, they're for real and we're losing.
Can't get close enough to you cause you're just too far away.
Why do you believe that we've got something coming?
You took it all, left me standing here with nothing
Can't get close enough to you cause you're just too far away,
Too far away, too far away.
In your world you must be dreaming if you think you can survive.
Taking all and giving nothing, that's a crime.
What makes you something special?
What about me? I'm here too.
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth.
Can't get close enough to you cause you're just too far away.
All I need is understanding and the right to survive
Only you could see the warnings and pass me by.
What makes you something special?
What about me? Well I'm here too.
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth.
Can't get close enough to you cause you're just too far away.
Too far away.
Can't get close enough to you cause you're just too far away.
How many tears must we cry before learning
Things that we had, they're for real and we're losing.
Can't get close enough to you cause you're just too far away.
Too far away.
Too far away, yeah.
Too far away.
SHAKING OFF THE CHAINS
Is life everything you want it to be?
Does it give you everything that you need?
Does it live up to your expectations?
Are you ready for the celebrations?
This is not for the weak of mind (weak of mind)
Are you sure that you're my kind? (my kind?)
Do you wanna be part of me? (be part of me?)
Are you sure that you can really see?
Are you chained to a life you don't want?
Is it hard for you to find a way out?
Can you live with out the love that you need?
Are you sure that what you have is so real?
This is not for the weak of mind (weak of mind)
Are you sure that you're my kind? (my kind?)
Do you wanna be part of me? (be part of me?)
Are you sure that you can really see?
All of your life they try to take your cover
Turn you into another and make you change your name.
When you fall, it's up to you to recover.
You can't depend on another to help you with the pain, yeah.
I'm shaking off the chains
I'm shaking off the chains
This is not for the weak of mind (weak of mind)
Are you sure that you're my kind? (my kind?)
Do you wanna be part of me? (part of me?)
Are you sure that you can really see?
In the night you say that things are fallin'
People always calling calling out your name.
What do ya know? A face appears at the window,
Tapping on the window, the window of your soul.
I'm shaking off the chains
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm shaking off the chains
Let me live again
Shaking off the chains
Shaking off the chains
I WON'T CRY FOR YOU
So ya lie awake and think about tomorrow
And ya try to justify the things you've done
But there's noone here to hear your tears fallin'
When ya turn around ya find out that you're the lonely one
And it feels like someone's treadin' on your shadow
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure
And it feels like you're drownin' in your tears
So I won't cry for you
No I ain't gonna die for you
And I ain't gonna lie for you
No I ain't gonna cry for you
I ain't gonna cry for you
So ya lie awake and think about the sorrow
Does it really still the fears in your mind?
And you try to realize the things you've wanted
But you take it all for granted and now it makes you blind
And it feels like someone's treadin' on your shadow
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure
And it feels like you're drownin' in your tears
So I ain't gonna cry for you
No I ain't gonna die for you
And I ain't gonna lie for you
Oh I ain't gonna cry for you
I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry for you
I ain't gonna cry
So I ain't gonna cry for you
No I ain't gonna die for you
No I ain't gonna lie for you
No I ain't gonna cry for you
Ain't gonna cry
Ain't gonna cry for you no more
Ain't gonna die
I ain't gonna die for you no more
Ain't gonna lie
I ain't gonna lie for you no more
Ain't
GUILTY AS HELL
Stand back and look at you and tell me that is what you want to be.
You realise that what you're seein' is a replica love thing
Inside my world is pretty grim, that even I can't survive in
I wouldn't try cause I know you
Deep inside you know you're guilty as hell
Deep inside you know you're guilty as hell
You realise that what you see is just a replica of me
Only me.
Oh it makes no difference if you're the only one.
It doesn't matter when all is said and done
Gonna feel the shame, God will put the blame on you.
Oh yeah.
If I was you
If I was you
I'ld wanna see
I'ld wanna see inside my head
I'ld wanna know if I was fucking dead
I wanna know what's going on
Someone tell me the truth
There's no fear in a fallen angel
There's no love in a heart made of stone
There's no truth in a heart that is screaming
Deep inside you know you're guilty as hell
There's no fear in a fallen angel
There's no love in a heart made of stone
There's no truth in a heart that is screaming
Deep inside you're guilty as hell, I hexed you.
SICK AND TIRED
Got no time to be on the road
Got no holes in my shoes
You're the reason all my friends are gone
But I won't run from you
So many promises and you broke them all
I forgive but I can't forget
You know you're a fake but I just can't take no more cause I'm tired of it
I'm so tired
So tired
Sick and tired of it all
I'm so tired
Sick and tired
So tired
Sick and tired of it all, yeah
You told the truth then you turned your back
You're a victim of yourself
The angry lies, the hurtin' still exists
I'm so tired of it all
I'm so tired
Sick and tired
So damn tired
Sick and tired of it all. Oh yeah
I'm so tired
I'm sick and tired of it all.
RUSTY ANGELS
They say you came from heaven, but I know that's not the truth
Cause I don't think an angel could look anything like you
Your eyes are made from saphires and your heart is made from stone
You've gotta be the closest thing to hate I've ever known
And if I didn't know better I'ld say you had come alone .. to the party, oh yeah.
The light is always shining but you swear that it's gone black
The tide is always turning but you're never looking back
If I didn't know better I'ld say times were pretty bad
Cause rusty angels they can't fly
Rusty angels gonna die yeah
Rusty angels they can't fly
Rusty angels gonna die, gonna die
The gift you bring of fire and your dreams they turn to dust
Your flying days are over and your wings have turned to rust
If I didn't know better I'ld say all you had is lost
Cause rusty angels they can't fly
Rusty angels gonna die
Rusty angels they can't fly
Rusty angels gonna die, gonna die
If you swallow just a little pride
You might find a little love inside
Open up and let somebody in
Cause if you need somebody you know it's not a sin.
Oh yeah
Rusty angels they can't fly
Rusty angels gonna die yeah
Rusty angels they can't fly no
Rusty angels gonna die, gonna die
Yeah yeah
You can't fly no no
Gonna die oh yeah
You can't fly oh no
FORBIDDEN
If I had to live again, I'ld change everything
'Cause everything I do, you know that I can't win.
Say it isn't right, but you say it isn't wrong.
How the Hell am I supposed to please everyone?
Tell me what it is that I'm supposed to do yeah
I ain't here for everybody, but I ain't here for you
You said it isn't right, but you said it isn't wrong.
Wish somebody could tell me, what it is that I've done wrong.
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me.
Everytime you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me.
Everytime you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.
You know it's gonna get you now,
And you know it starts to bring you down.
Tell me what it is, that I'm supposed to do yeah
I ain't here for everybody, but I ain't here for you
Seems I have to fight, for all the things I want
Wish somebody could tell me, what it is that I've done wrong.
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me.
Everytime you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me.
Everytime you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.
Uuar!
It's Forbidden
The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me.
Everytime you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me.
Everytime you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.
Uuar!
Makes me wonder what you see, yeah.
KISS OF DEATH
This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying.
Just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.
We tried to show you on your way, but still you cannot see, you're hurting me.
You told too many lies and so it ends now.
You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan.
You tried to take my world away, oh no.
Now I see it, it's as clear as day.
No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance.
You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies.
But I've seen this road before, oh yeah.
There is no reason why I should listen now.
No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance.
So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before.
Someone like you could never get through my door no more.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah.
Every lie that you tell you get closer.
Closer to the edge of the Cauldron and in to the fire, yeah.
Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you,
Forever and ever.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah.
This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying.
Just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.
LOSER GETS IT ALL
It's a loaded dice, that you throw this time.
If you turn the ace, it'll turn out fine.
When ya spin the wheel, and you get your call,
South of the line, well the loser gets it all.
One too many days,
One too many nights,
You've cried too many tears,
Had too many fights,
And you know it's a bad time, bad time to lose
Every face you see, has those starin' eyes.
Every passing glance, makes you realise.
And you know it's a bad time, bad time to lose.
God knows there no good time.
Too many days and too many nights
You cried too many tears
Had too many fights
And you know it's a bad time bad time to lose, yeah yeah.
Bad time to lose
Bad time to lose
Bad time to lose
WAR PIGS (The OzzMan Cometh)
Witches gather at black masses
Bodies burning in red ashes
On the hill the church in ruin.
Is the scene of evil doings
It's a place for all black sinners
Watch them eating dead rats' inners.
I guess it's the same, where ever you may go
Oh lord yeah
Carry banners which denounce the lord
See me rocking in my grave
See them anoint my head with dead rat's blood
See them stick the stake through me
Oh
Don't hold me back cause I just gotta go
(Sat'n/They) got a hold of my soul now
Lords got my brain instinct with blood obscene
Look in my eyes I'm there enough
Yeah
On the scene a priest appears
Sinners falling at his knees
Satan sends out funeral pyre
Casts the priest into the fire
It's the place for all bad sinners.
Watch them eating dead rats' inners
I guess it's the same, where ever you may go
Oh lord yeah
