Can you sleep at night?
When you close your eyes
Do you think of all the pain from your lies?
Or do you deny
You’re responsible
For the victims of the sins you devised?
“Dear Father” by Black Sabbath
Tag: 13
Take these bones
My spirit doesn’t need them any longer
In the zones
Between the living and the dead
Take these eyes
‘Cuz I don’t need to see another minute
Of this life
From which I’m hanging by a thread
Please let go
We’ll maybe meet again in someone’s vision
Who could know
If there’s another world up there?
On my own
I’m passing through the final resolution
Going home
Without a promise or a prayer
The hour of indecision
Too late to change your mind
Was it all superstition
It lies and then you’re dying
In my time
I tried but didn’t find a real direction
Chose a line
On the periphery of life
Say goodbye
There’s no escape from absolute conclusion
Life goes by
But memories remain the same
Remain the same
Phantom soldiers marching off to war
Never knowing what they’re fighting for
Tell me what decides
Who has God on their side
There’s no reason, it’s the season
Is there any war
That is worth dying for?
There’s no reason, it’s the Season of the Dead
Death and glory, same old story-line
Children of the future lost in time
Deadly toys of war
That kill more than before
There’s no reason, it’s the season
Dead men don’t come back
When they’re under attack
There’s no reason in the Season of the Dead
Is this the end of relived glory?
Living in this purgatory
King and country call for sacrifice
Shame or honor is the only choice
Mystic forces on pale horses ride
Sparing hunger, plague and genocide
Senators of state with their profits of hate
There’s no reason, it’s high treason
As they light the fuse, no one can refuse
There’s no reason, it’s the Season of the Dead
“Damaged Soul” by Black Sabbath
“I have been touched by Satan. My weakness allowed it. My faith was not
strong enough and Lucifer came to me. I didn’t fight him strongly enough. I don’t know that I fought him at all.”
A preacher tried saving
My black, Damaged Soul
Possessed by a demon
That had full control
Caught up in the pain
Of a broken heart
Life isn’t what it seems
Because it’s all been torn apart
Inside imagination
Playing tricks on me
The politics of love
Hurts on into a conspiracy
Wash your lies in mother’s tears
Greeting after all these years
Tell me who gave you the right
Get down on your knees and Cry All Night
Cry All Night
Insanity and madness
Better or for worse
Dishonesty and lies
Have turned the blessing to a curse
And in this world of sadness
It’s easier to blame
Deception and denial
Shuns the burning of the flame
Path of life leads to the grave
God have mercy, Jesus save
Guide us through now, hold on tight
Get down on your knees and Cry All Night
Why don’t we try
To find a real solution
No need to cry
So wipe away those tears
So many times
I’ve tried but you won’t listen
Now it’s too late
To save these wasted years
Mind assassination
Break the Golden Rule
Who do you think you are?
To me, you’re just another fool
You didn’t stop to reason
You didn’t even try
Only see things from your side
It’s all a one-way ride
Don’t go under, stand your right
Wish someone would stop the fight
Shattered dreams fall out of sight
Get down on your knees and Cry All Night
Cry All Night
You’re gonna Cry All Night
Cry All Night
