Текст песни:

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 etc.

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 etc.

@ Black Sabbath

Текст песни:

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.

Текст песни:

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


@ Black Sabbath

Текст песни:

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

Since he passed the motion, they′re building in the ocean
And he′s saying all men should 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

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, yeah


@ Black Sabbath

Текст песни:

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?


@ Black Sabbath

Текст песни:

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 for me

He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity′s wings

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

My blood will spill my blood
My blood will spill my blood

In the wisdom of the prophet′s
Never ending tale
Open up the eyes
Within your mind, he says
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

@ Black Sabbath

Текст песни:

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

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 an endless journey, it′s the fate of man
To live each day and never understand

And 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

Текст песни:

Can you see me, are you near me?
Can you hear me crying out for life?
Can you tell me, where′s the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it′s over you′ll find the answer
Running in the whispering rain
Anno Mundi? Can you wonder!
Truth of thunder, life or blame

Do you 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 laughing
They′re all laughing on you
If only they could see what you′re saying is true
Still generals fighting, making war on the world
Don′t they know, don′t they know?
No, no, no

The wind in the night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
Anno mundi

Do you follow the path that so many tread?
Are you among the blind so easily lead?
Do you join the war, do you fight for the cause?
Depend on another to fight it alone

Can you see me now, can you hear me now?
Can you tell me, where′s the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it′s over, you′ll find the answer
Runnin′ in the rain

There′s a hope that′s growing and a vision too
All those angry hearts now reach out for you
Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun?
No longer the fool, the vision is done

@ Black Sabbath

Текст песни:

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 is gonna 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 is gonna 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 is gonna take my rock ′n roll away from me
