    Black Sabbath

    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
    Watch those flames get higher and higher.
    Oh no, no
    Please God help me!

    This is the end my friend
    Satan’s coming round the bend
    People running ’cause they’re scared
    You people better go and beware
    No! No! Please! No!

    The Wizard

    Misty morning
    Clouds in the sky
    Without warning
    A wizard walks by

    Casting his shadow
    Weaving his spell
    Flowing 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

    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 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 too late

    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 all 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 judgment day comes

    Now in darkness world stops turning
    Ashes were the bodies burning
    No more war pigs have the power
    Hand of God has struck the hour
    Day of Judgment God is calling
    On their knees the war pigs crawling
    Begging mercies for their sins
    Satan laughing spreads his wings
    Oh Lord yeah

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

    Tomorrow's Dream

    Well, I’m leaving tomorrow at daybreak
    Catch the fastest train that I find
    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 I can fit 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 let 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 the star part

    Fairies Wear Boots

    Goin’ home late last night
    Suddenly I got a fright
    Yeah I looked through a window
    And surprised what I saw
    Fairy with boots and dancin’ with a dwarf Alright now

    Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta
    believe me
    Yeah, I saw it I saw it
    I tell you no lie
    Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta
    believe me
    I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
    All right now

    So I went to the doctor to see what he
    could give me
    He said son, son, you’ve gone too far
    ’Cause smokin’ and trippin’ is all that you do

    Yeah

    Changes

    I feel unhappy
    I feel so sad
    I’ve lost the best friend
    That I ever had

    She was my woman
    I love her so
    But it’s too late now
    I’ve let her go

    I’m going through changes (Repeat)

    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 (Repeat)

    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 (Repeat)

    Sweet Leaf

    Alright now!
    Won’t you listen?

    When I first met you, didn’t realize
    I can’t forget you or your surprise
    You introduced me to my mind
    And left me wanting you and your kind

    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.

    Come on now—try it out

    Straight people don’t know what you’re 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.

    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 sunrise of tomorrow bring in 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 word today
    Show the world that love is still alive You must be brave
    Or you children of today are children of the grave.

    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

    You seen right through distorted lies
    You know you have 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 reason 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 there’s just no return
    You’re wishing that the hand 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 dognose
    Bog blast all of you
    Sabbath, bloody sabbath
    Nothing more to do
    Living just for dying
    Dying just for you

    Am I Going Insane (Radio)

    Everybody’s looking at me
    Feeling paranoid inside
    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

    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, 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

    Snow Blind

    What you get and what you see
    Things that don’t come easily
    Feeling happy in my pain
    Icicles within my brain

    Something blowing 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
    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
    Build my dreams on 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 the loser
    This is where I feel I belong

    Kiss the world with winter flowers
    Turn my days to frozen hours
    Lying snowblind in the sun
    Will my ice age ever come

    N.I.B.

    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

    Leaving the life you led before we met

    Forever with me till the end of time
