# All Black Sabbath Lyrics

### BLACK SABBATH

Black Sabbath

    What is this that stands before me?
    Figure in black which points at me
    Turn around quick, and start to run
    Find out I'm the chosen one
    Oh nooo!

    Big black shape with eyes of fire
    Telling people their desire
    Satan's 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 coming 'round the bend
    people running 'cause they're scared
    The people better go and beware!
    No, no, please, no!

The Wizard

    Misty morning, clouds in the sky
    Without warning, the wizard walks by
    Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
    Funny clothes, tinkling bell

    Never talking
    Just keeps walking
    spreading his magic

    Evil power disappears
    Demons worry when the wizard is near
    He turns tears into joy
    Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

    Never talking
    Just keeps walking
    spreading 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 talking
    Just keeps walking
    spreading his magic

Behind the Wall of Sleep

    Precious cups within the flower
    deadly petals with strange power
    faces shine a deadly smile
    back up on you at your trial

    Chill and numbs from head to toe
    icy sun with frosty glow
    Why'd you go reaching your sorrow?
    why'd you go read no tomorrow

    Feel your spirit rise with the priest
    feel your body falling to its knees
    Take your walk of remorse
    take your body to a corpse
    take your body to a corpse
    take your body to a corpse
    if you want all remorse
    take your body to a corpse

    Now from darkness, there springs light
    Wall of Sleep is cold and bright
    Wall of Sleep is lying broken
    Sun shines in, you are awoken

N.I.B.

    Oh yeah!

    Some people say my love cannot 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
    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 power
    Our love grows stronger now with every hour
    Look into my eyes, you will 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 power
    Our love grows stronger now with every hour
    Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
    my name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Wicked World

    The world today is such a wicked thing
    Fighting going on between the human race
    People give good wishes to all their friends
    While people just across the sea are counting 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 diseases

    A woman goes to work every day after day
    She just goes to work just to earn her pay
    Child sitting crying by a life that's harder
    he doesn't even know who is his father

Sleeping Village

    Red sun rising in the sky
    Sleeping village, cockerels cry
    Soft breeze blowing in the trees
    peace of mind, feel at ease

Warning

    Now the first day that I met ya
    I was looking in the sky
    When the sun turned all a blur
    and the thunderclouds rolled by
    The sea began to shiver
    and the wind began to moan
    It must've 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 me
    and I don't believe you can
    'cause 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 know 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'
    'cause there's iron in my heart
    I just can't keep from cryin'
    'cause 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

### PARANOID

War Pigs

    Generals gathered in their masses
    just like witches at black masses
    evil minds that plot destruction
    sorcerers 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 that role to the poor

      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 were the bodies burning
    No more war pigs of the power
    Hand of god has struck the hour
    Day of judgement, god is calling
    on their knees, the war pigs crawling
    Begging mercy for their sins
    Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

    OH LORD YEAH!

War Pigs From Concert in Paris Dec 1970

     Generals gathered in their masses
     Just like Witches at Black Masses
     In the fields their bodies burning
     As the war machine keeps turning

     Evil minds that plot destruction
     Sorcerer of death's construction
     It's the same wherever you go
     To the War Pigs people know

     OH LORD YEAH!

     Politicians hide themselves away
     They only started the war
     Treating people just like pawns in chess
     Wait till their judgement day comes ... Yeah!

     People running like they're sheep in fields
     People blowing out their minds
     Say that you're dying here ... I know it now
     Hey, you're the goner at the end ... Yeah!

     On the scene a priest appears
     Hell is falling at his knees
     Satan sends out funeral pyre
     Cast the priest into the fire

     It's the place for all bad sinners
     Watch them eating dead rat cinders
     It's the same wherever you go
     To Black Masses people go

     OH LORD YEAH!

Paranoid

    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 cannot 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

Planet Caravan

    We sail through endless skies
    stars shine like eyes
    the black night sighs
    The moon in silver trees
    falls down in tears
    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 the night
    And so we pass on by the crimson eye
    of great god Mars
    as we travel the universe

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 alive or dead?
    Has he thoughts within his head?
    We'll just pass him there
    why should we even care?

    He was turned to steel
    in the great magnetic field
    Where he travelled time
    for the future of mankind

      Nobody wants him
      He just stares at the world
      Planning his vengeance
      that he will soon unfold

    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
    fills his victims full of dread
    Running as fast as they can
    Iron Man lives again!

Electric Funeral

    Reflex in the sky warn you you're gonna die
    Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
    Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties
    Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay

    Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic rage
    plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon
    dying world of radiation, victims of mad frustration
    Burning globe of oxy'n fire, like electric funeral pyre

      Buildings crashing down to a cracking ground
      Rivers turn to wood, ice melting to flood
      Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry water dead
      Tearing life away, here's the burning pay

      Electric Funeral
      Electric Funeral
      Electric Funeral
      Electric Funeral

    And so in the sky shines the electric eye
    supernatural 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 cells!

Hand Of Doom

    Whatcha 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
    Colours in your mind satisfy your time

    Oh you, you know you must be blind
    To do something like this
    To take the sleep that you don't know
    You're giving Death a kiss,
    Oh, 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 bottle it in
    You need someone to help you
    To stick the needle in, yeah

    Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning green
    Your eyes no longer seeing 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 hands starts to weave
    It's too late to turn, you don't want to learn
    Price of life you cry, now you're gonna die!

Fairies Wear Boots

    Goin' home, late last night
    suddenly I got a fright
    Yeah I looked throughout the window and surprised what I saw
    Fairy boots were dancing' with a dwarf, all right now!

    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, well all right now!

    So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
    he said "Son, son, you've gone too far.
    'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."

### MASTER OF REALITY

Sweet Leaf

    ALRIGHT NOW!!
    Won't you listen?

    When I first met you, didn't realize
    I can't forget you, for your suprize
    you introduced me, to my mind
    And left me wanting, you and your kind
    Oh yeah!

    I love you, Oh you know it

    My life was empty forever on a down
    Until you took me, showed me around
    My life is free now, my life is clear
    I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
    Oh yeah!

    Come on now, try it out

    Straight people don't know, what your about
    They put you down and shut you out
    you gave to me a new belief
    and soon the world will love you sweet leaf
    Oh yeah baby!

After Forever

    Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
    Or perhaps you think that when you're 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 I have seen 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 believe 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 they may as well worship the sun?

    I think it was 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 you can't retrieve

    Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
    Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
    The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
    Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.

Children of the Grave

    Revolution in their minds - 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

    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?

    So you children of the world, listen to what I say
    If you want a better place to live in spread the words today
    Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave
    Or you children of today are Children of the Grave, Yeah!

Lord of this World

    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.

    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.

    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

Solitude

    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 possessed - 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

    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

Into the Void

    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
    Everywhere is misery and woe
    Pollution kills the air, the land and sea
    Man prepares to meet his destiny

    Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
    Up into the night 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.

    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 the grave
    Make a home where love is there to stay
    Peace and happiness in everyday

### VOL 4

Wheels of Confusion

    Long ago I wandered through my mind
    in the land of fairy tales and stories
    Lost in happiness I knew no fears
    Innocence and love was all I knew
    was it illusion?

    Soon the days went passing into years
    Happiness just didn't come so easy
    Life was born of fairy tales and daydreams
    Innocence was just another word
    was it illusion?

      Lost in the wheels of confusion
      Running through furnace of tears
      Eyes full of angered illusion
      Hiding in every day things

    So I found that life is just a game
    But you know there's never been a winner
    Try your hardest, just to be a loser
    The world will still be turning when you're gone
    yeah when you're gone!

Tomorrow's Dream

    Well I'm leaving tomorrow at daybreak
    catch the fastest train around nine
    Yes I'm leaving the sorrow and heartache
    before it takes me away from my mind

    Send me love and I may let you see me
    Send me hopes that can spin in my head
    But if you really want me to answer
    I can only let you know when I'm dead

      When sadness fills my days
      It's time to turn away
      and then tomorrow's dreams
      become reality to me

    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
    so this time I'm gonna have to depart

Changes

    I feel unhappy
    I feel so sad
    I've 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

Supernaut

    I want to reach out and touch the sky
    I want to touch the sun
    but I don't need to fly
    I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
    And find a distant man a-waving his spoon

    I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
    I found the crossing near a golden rainbow's end
    I've been through magic and through life's reality
    I've lived a thousand years and it 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, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
    I've seen the future and I've left it behind

Snowblind

    What you get and what you see
    Things that don't come easily
    Feeling happy in my vein
    Icicles within my brain
    (cocaine)

    Something blowing in my head
    Winds of ice, it soon will spread
    Death would freeze my very soul
    Makes me happy, makes me cold

      My eyes are blind but I can see
      The snowflakes glisten on the tree
      The sun no longer sets me free
      I feel there's no place freezing me

    Let the winter sun shine on
    Let me feel the frost of dawn
    Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
    Soon I'll feel the chilling glow

      Don't you think I know what I'm doing
      Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
      You're the one that's really a loser
      This is where I feel I belong

    Crystal world with winter flowers
    Turns my day to frozen hours
    Lying snowblind in the sun
    Will my ice age ever come?

Cornucopia

    Too much in 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
    fast sports cars and motor noise
    exciting in their plastic place
    frozen food in a concrete maze

      You're gonna go insane
      I'm trying to save your brain

    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 trying to save your brain

St. Vitus' Dance

    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 know it hurts to go

      You feel your love so shattering
      you feel you want to die
      Just because someone did take off
      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

Under the Sun / Every Day Comes and Goes

    Well I don't want no demon to tell me what it's all about
    No black magician telling me to get my soul out
    Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace
    I've opened the door and my mind has been released

    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 with no people telling me what to do
    I just believe in myself, 'cause no one else is true

      Every day just comes and goes
      Life is one big overdose
      People try to ruin me
      and I can't seem to eliminate them

      People riding their real pace
      keep on running their rat race
      The ante is risen once a week
      in their world of make-believe

    So believe what I tell you, it's the only way to fight 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

### SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

    You've seen life 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 want to see them burn
    The gates of life have closed on you
    And now 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

    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
    Burned out confusion
    Nothing more to tell

    Everything around you
    What's it coming to
    God knows as your dog knows
    Bog blast all of you
    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
    Nothing more to do
    Living just for dying
    Dying just for you

A National Acrobat

    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 believed
    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
    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

    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 tryin to get through!

    Love has given life to you
    And now it's your concern
    Unseen eyes of inner life
    Will make your soul return
    Still I look but not to touch
    The seeds of life are sownCurtain 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 every breath
    Looking back I've lived and learned
    But now I'm wondering
    Here I wait and only guess
    What this next life will bring

Killing Yourself To Live

    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 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

    You think 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 in my life are all different somehow
    Little boy blue's a big girl now

    So you think it's me who's strange
    But you've never had to make the change
    Never give your trust away
    You'll end up paying till your dying day

Who Are You

    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?

Looking For Today

    It's complete but obsolete
    All tomorrow's become yesterday
    In demand but second hand
    It's been heard before you even play

    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

    Everyone 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

    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

    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

    Everyone 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
    Looking for today

    Glamour trip so soon to slip
    Easy come but oh how quick it goes
    Ten foot tall but what to fall
    Hard to open yet so easy to close
    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
    Looking for today

Spiral Architect

    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 cry

    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

### SABOTAGE

Hole in the Sky

    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 synonyms of all the things that I've said
    Are just the riddles that are built in my head

      Hole in the sky, take me to heaven
      Window in time, through it I fly

    I've seen the stars disappear in the sun
    The 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 cause

      Hole in the sky, take me 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 I'm living on the profits of pride

Symptom of the Universe

    Take me through the centuries to supersonic 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!

    Mother mooch is calling me back to her silver womb
    Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
    Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies
    A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

      Yeah!
      Yeah!

    Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
    When our love will ride away into eternal skies
    A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

      Yeah
      Yeah!

    Oh my 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

    I hide myself inside the shadows of shame
    The silent symphonies were playing their game
    My body echoed to the dreams of my soul
    This god is something that I could not control

      Where can I run to now?
      The joke is on me
      No sympathizing god is insanity, yeah
      Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
      Why don't you just get out of my life now?
      Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
      Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

    Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes
    I mixed reality with pseudogod dreams
    The ghost of violence was something I seen
    I sold my soul to be the human obscene

      How could it poison me?
      The dream of my soul
      How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?
      Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
      Why don't you 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 something's taken me I don't know where
    It's like a trip inside a separate mind
    The ghost of tomorrow from my favourite 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
      Am I right if I fight?
      That I might just get away from you now
      Sting me!

    Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return
    It's giving me the chance of saving my soul
    Beating the 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, providence 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
      Am I right if I fight?
      That I might just get away from you now
      Suck me!

    I'm really digging schizophrenia the best of the earth
    I've seized my soul in the fires of hell
    Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine
    I simply try, but he wants me to fail
    Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
    Now I've found my happiness, providence of sorrow

      No more lies, I got wise
      I despise the way I worshipped you yeah
      Now I'm free, can't you see
      And now instead I won't be led by you now
      Free!

The Thrill of it All

    Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift
    With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
    Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry
    Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die

    Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can?
    When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in Man?
    If my songs 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 sticking to it
    'Cause 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!

    So come along, you know you matter to me
    Remember freedom is not hard to find, yeah
    Time to stop all your messing around
    Don't you think that I know my own mind, oh yeah
    Oh yeah!

    Why can't you believe, it's not here to perceive
    Do you always have to be told, yeah
    For you have been taught that if your mind has been bought
    Life's entire answer was sold, oh yeah
    Oh yeah!

Am I Going Insane (Radio)

    Everybody's looking at me, feeling paranoid inside
    When I step outside I feel free, think I'll find a place to hide
    Tell me people, am I going insane?
    Tell me people, am I going insane?

    Every day 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?
    Tell me people, am I going 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 schizo brain
    So tell me people, am I going insane?
    Tell me people, am I going insane?

The Writ

    The way I feel is the way I am
    I wish 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 and roll star for you
    Just for you

    The faithful image of another man
    The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you
    Yeah for you

    The shot troopers laying down on the floor
    I wish they'd put an end to my running war with you
    Yeah with you

      Are you metal, are you man?
      You've changed in life since you began
      Yeah began

      Ladies digging gold from you
      Will they still dig now you're through
      Yeah you're through

    You bought and sold me with your lying words
    The voices in the deck that you never heard came through
    Yeah came through

    Your folly finally got to spend with a gun
    A poisoned father who has poisoned his son, that's you
    Yeah that's you

    I beg you 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 true
    Ah, that's true

      Are you Satan, are you man?
      You've changed in life 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
    Probably dead, they don't feel a thing
    To keep them living for another day

    (Rats, Rat)

    You are nonentity, you have no destiny
    You are a victim 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
    So tired of sadness and of misery

      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 fine
      I feel my world is out of time

    But everything is gonna work out fine
    If it don't I 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 see

    But everything is gonna work out fine
    If it don't I think I'll Blow my mind

### TECHNICAL ECSTASY

Back Street Kids

    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 seat of a shiny limousine
    Living 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 other's eye's, surprised?
    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 demands
    So listen to the music, want to see you get so high
    'Cause 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

    I'm just a man and I am what I am
    Nobody will ever change my ways
    I don't need money and I don't need no lies
    I only need to live for today
    But I'd like to talk things over with you
    I want to hear the things you say, today
    Although you won't change my anyway, no no way

    I wish you'd come and see me, I'd like to hold you
    I want to set my mind all free
    You understand me woman, you give me time
    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
    Please give me time and maybe love
    If there's a God up there, well I hope he helps me
    I need him now to set me free
    'Cause 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 All Right

    Told you once about your friends and neighbours
    They were always seeking but they'll never find it
    It's alright, yes it's alright

    Where to go and where to see
    It's always been this way and it can never be
    It's alright, yes 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, yes 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, yes it's alright

    So I told you once about your friends and neighbours
    They were always seeking but they'll never find it
    It's alright, yes it's alright

Gypsy

    Watch the universe at the death of another day
    Fatalistic ships from a distant shore
    In the back of my mind I could see 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
    She said I'd got it coming
    And then she took me away

    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 then 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
    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're wasting 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, come on now.
    So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now
    So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now
    So you wanna be a gypsy

All Moving Parts Stand Still

    Super animation, turning on a nation
    And they're saying all moving parts stand still
    Since he was elected, adrenaline 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

    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

    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
    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

    Pretty silly ladies
    All Cynthia's and Sadie's
    Call him and he takes their numbers down
    Says he is a woman
    Should have seen it coming
    And she says 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...!

Rock'N'Roll Doctor

    Well I'm sick and tired of hearing 'bout the world and it's hang ups
    Gonna get myself together,
    Take a ride downtown
    Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor
    Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor
    Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor
    Gotta see him, see him today.

    Give the doctor a call
    Doctor rock will help you anytime at all

    Blow me away

She's Gone

    I've been a long long time, waiting 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, yes goodbye
    Why the sudden change, why all of the lies,
    I should have seen it in your eyes
    The endless hours of heartache, waiting for you
    My summer love has turned to rain, oh the pain
    The silent emptiness of one sided love
    My life means nothing now you're gone...
    Ooh my baby

Dirty Women

    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 all right

    The sleepy city is dreaming the nigh time away
    Out on the street 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
    'Cause take away women don't fail...

    Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
    Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
    You've got me coming
    You've got me going around, let's go
    Oh dirty women,
    They don't mess around

    Walking the streets I wonder will it ever happen
    Gotta be good then everything will be o.k.
    if I could score tonight then I will end up happy

    A woman for sale is gonna help me save my day...

### NEVER SAY DIE

Never say die

    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's mirror said: 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
      Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
      Never, never, never say die again

    Sunday's 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 back, 'till it's ready, taking it slow

      Don't they ever have to worry?
      Don't you ever wonder why?
      It's a part of me that tells you
      Oh, 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

    Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall
    Children get together, you can save us all
    Future's on the corner, throwing us a die
    Slow down, turn around, everything'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
      Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
      Never, never, never say die again

Shock Wave

    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 realise that you're gonna die

    Drinking your blood brew is your answer
    That's what you plan to do
    No dreaming, time you cheat this 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
    Look behind you!

    Somebody's calling
    Someone is near
    Feel yourself falling
    Falling with fear
    You tell yourself you're dreaming
    You realise you're screaming
    You know that this shouldn't happen to you
    You tell yourself that it's scary too
    But there is nothing you can do, oh!

    Ghostly shadows from the other world
    Evil forces in your mind
    Trapped between the worlds of life and death
    Frozen in the realms of time
    Look behind you!

    You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line
    Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind
    Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains
    Ice cold fingers, flowing through your veins

Johnny Blade

    Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone
    People avoid him, they know the street's his own
    Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild
    Mean as a tiger, society's own child

      Go the tiger, burn in hate
      You know you have 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 kills them 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 you 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 that 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 days

      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's fooling who?
        It's time to listen
        The fool is you

Hard Road

    Old men crying, young men dying
    World still turns as Father Time looks on
    On and on
    Children playing, dreamers praying
    Laughter turns to tear as love has gone
    Has it gone?

      Oh, it's a hard road
      Oh, it's a hard road

    Whirlwind churning, lovers learning
    On this path of life we can't back down
    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

    Why make the hard road?
    Why can't we be friends?
    No need to hurry
    We'll meet in the end

    Why make the hard road?
    Why can't we be friends?
    No need to worry
    Let's sing it again

    Brother's sharing, mother's caring
    Night time falling victim to the dawn
    Shadows small
    Days are crawling, time is calling
    To the Earth that not that life has gone
    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
      \dots

    We're living in sorrow
    We're living the best
    And look to the future
    'Cause life goes together now

Junior's Eyes

    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!

      They'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 is grieving again
    Innocent eyes watched the man who had gave everything
    Junior's sorrow, who knew what tomorrow would bring?
    Yeah!

      They'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!

      They'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

Air Dance

    She sits in silence, in her midnight world
    Her faded pictures, of her dancing girls
    Her distant dreamer, on the seas of time
    Her happy memories, 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

    Born in the window
    Nobody's fool
    Raised in the prison
    You called the school
    Taught young in legends
    Told what to do
    I handed my childhood
    Over to you

    Travelling endlessly
    I'm searching for 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?

    Watching for freedom
    Fighting your wars
    Feeding your children
    Keeping your laws
    Someday you'll suffer
    And 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
    Stealing myself
    Which burning secrets?
    What to they tell?
    Mad politicians
    Can tell it true
    I handed my children
    Over to you

    All over, over to you
    All over, over to you
    All over, over to you...

Swinging the Chain

    It's against my uniform
    To be a civil judge
    All the songs are history 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 all?

      And we're sad and sorry
      Really sorry that it happened that way
      Yes we're sad and 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 way out of here
    A compromise that's right
    If we cannot work it out
    We're gonna have to fight

      Yes we're sad and sorry
      Really sorry that it happened that way
      Yes we're sad and sorry
      We cannot go on in those days

        I'm talking about my brothers
        Yeah, I'm talking 'bout sisters as well
        And I wish you good luck
        Good luck!

    Oh, but the world's still on fire
    Chain the hope you take on, liar
    This fire
    We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah
