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

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
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell yeah

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 yeah
 
 
 
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

You've got to 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 trying 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 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 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
Ha ha!

Sabbra Cadabra

Feel so good I feel so fine
Love that little lady always on my mind
She gives me lovin' every night and day
Never gonna leave her never going away

Someone to love me
You know she makes me feel alright

Someone who needs me

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

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

Smoke it
Yeah high

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 of 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?

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 yeah

   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 yeeeieah

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

   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 yeeeeeieah

      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 to 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
 
 
 
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 disquise

   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
