Lyrics Black Sabbath - Eternal Idol
The Shining
There's a man who sees all there is to see What the future holds for all As the days grow dark as his sole and final warning Beware of the one with invisible friends they will steal into your mind And all too soon the signs begin to show-oh Rise up to the shinin' Live long live now-ow Rise up to the shinin' Don't be blind by fools again Fools again As the page is turned and the story's told on the visions he had seen The house on the hill with the haunted eyes that call No one laughed as madness came out (out out) to play it's game If you stay too long you'll finally go insane, now Rise up to the shining Live long live now-ow Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Fools again Bells will take their toll on your way out There's no way we're born to shine before our time All your life, you're on your own Lonely road lost in a time Let the light lead your way to the golden throne, It's the only way Rise up to the shinin' Live long live now-ow Rise up to the shinin' Don't be blind by fools again Rise up to the shinin' Live long live now-ow Rise up the shinin' Don't be blind by fools again Oh rise up to the shinin' Wise up, they're gonna steal your mind Rise up the house is gonna haunt you! No one laughed, no one cried Oh oh ahh-ahh yeah
Ancient Warrior
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 from me? He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings, oh 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, oh My blood will spill my blood Oh-oh My blood will spill my blood ha In the wisdom of the prophet's never ending tale "Open up the eyes within your mind," he said 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, oh
Hard Life To Love
Livin' in the fast lane is easy till ya run out of road Friends will turn to strangers when you're out of control A slip of the tongue when it's done, is often hard to see it thru So never let your words be lies or they'll come looking for you It's a hard life to love hmm yeah For the price of glory you left and threw your fortunes away Never really cared too much for the job or the pay You're standing in the rain with no cover but you never complain You're an angry young man face to face but your mirror's insane It's a hard life to love mmm I'm simply refusing a part in your world Cause I see, see how it burns I see how it turns And you're simply denyin' the fact that you're blind And I see no more I see red. I only see red ooh yeah Think of all the times I was hurting but you felt no pain Think of all the lies you told me again and again And still you seek the truth from those who continue to lie And now you're seeking life from those who are living to die It's a hard life to love mmm I'm simply refusing a part in your world Cause I see, see how it burns I see how it turns And you're simply denying the fact that you're blind And I see no more I see red. I only see red Ooh yeah ooh (ooh yeah) Livin' in the fast lane ain't easy when you've run out of road Friends will turn to strangers when you've nowhere to go Don't give a damn when you're lost cause you'll die from it all Laws were made to be broken And you do it for the thrill of it all It's a hard life to love ooh yeah It's a hard life to love ooh yeah It's a hard life to love I've run out of road, ooh Hard life to love I've run out of road, mmm yeah It's a hard life to love
Glory Ride
Winged with steel they fill the air The soldiers of fortune will ride Into the sights of the enemy's gun Those who have taken their oaths tonight are well prepared They know they'll do or die Even if it's suicide Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonight Wasted lives and spirits run free On wings of no return Dressed to kill where eagles dare The fate of a nation's at hand Is this the answer to their prayer? Come the dawn, thru the blood red skies Return with tears in their eyes And they recall thou shall not kill And in the morning they'll take a hero's bow And make the everlasting flight Hear them callin' up above all across the skies Hear them callin' up above from the other side Hear them call! Now Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonight Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonight Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return There's a fire in the sky We all live to die Ohh is this the answer? Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonight
Born To Lose
I'll play your game but if you lose you're gonna pay the price Broken chains, like a prisoner freed at last The fear inside just uped and died Time will tell if I am wrong Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long yeah Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark Well I'm not born to lose Were not born to lose umm-umm Ya curse my name as I turn and walk away from you Ohh ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long You don't scare me 'cos you're hard to see And it's time that you were gone Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long yeah Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark Well I'm not born to lose Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark What ya gonna do about it now? What ya gonna do about it now? Yeah yeah (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long, yeah ooh Ah-ah ah-ah it won't be too long, yeah oh no Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ohh Ya think I'm chasing shadows in the dark What ya gonna do about it now? What ya gonna do about it now? There ain't nothing you can do about it now
Nightmare
I close my eyes started dreamin' See a vision filled with wings head my way Hear a presence of unknown power Telling me to come this is the only way It's a dream within a dream Lost and lonely Don't be fooled by the Devil's hand Oh no Silent screamer filled with fear As the night-time shapes a face then disappears Scared forever (implant) into believin' That your mind has met the Prince of whom you see It's a dream within a dream Lost and lonely Don't be fooled by the Devil's hand Oh no It's dream within dream Lost forever Don't be fooled by the Devil, oh no! RAY GILLEN: ha ha ha ha... aooh hah hah ... In your eyes the evil spirit rises Blinded by the dark you fall into shame As the reaper takes you down the spiral stairway You share the evil pit with Satan's name Nightmare, it's got me runnin' Nightmare, it's calling you Nightmare, it's got me runnin' Nightmare, it's calling you It's a dream within a dream Lost and lonely Don't get fooled, by the Devil It's dream within a dream Lost forever Don't be fooled by the Devil It's got me runnin' It's just a nightmare It's got me runnin' It's got me runnin' You wake up in dreams
Lost Forever
All your life you've been slippin' and slidin' trying to find a way Sun won't shine but now it's your time to pay There's no turning back as you look the hangman in the eye Now Hell's just your death away It's too late to say you care When there's evil in your stare You say your not to blame In your head voices mocking every prayer Remember the face you saw that once was you Spirits high there's no way that you could lose Give him rope they said as you look the hangman in the eye And now around your neck you feel the noose It's too late to say you care When there's evil in your stare You say your not to blame In your head voices mocking every prayer Now you're lost forever I'm burning with fire It's time to leave or get out I'm burning in fire I can't take no more so get out I'm burning with fire The wheels of steel will grind you I'm burning with fire it's time you're lost forever ha ha ha Lost forever There's an evil in your stare Lost forever Hell's just a breath away Lost forever And there's no way out you burn with fire, It's time to get out, get out, get out Lost forever There's evil in your stare Lost forever And there's no turning back Lost forever The wheels of steel will grind you Lost forever Lost forever Lost forever
Eternal Idol
No one said it had to be this way Why are we the victims of their final word? Dying world is killing us so slowly I believe no god may save us now Can ya see what I see? Sinners say your prayers tonight The judgement day is here Child of tomorrow will die Not even born Jesus our questions Never seems to hear Dying for the answers may be Price we pay Ta find a key to our lives Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Who's this god? Tell me there's no god above Why! Oh We choose what lord deep within our souls He's not one thing Ooh we are his spirit We could save this world from destruction day Can ya see what I see? Can ya hear me cryin'? Oh God can ya help me now? Take my hand no home no home Of God take my heaven You and I are victims of their word As the masters of power try to poison our world Greed money taken over their souls Just mechanical brains Politicians don't know They just don't know Know Know Know Just don't know I die
Some Kind of Woman
She's young, but lord what a woman she's quick as a brawl at five She's class, one hell of a woman, she really confused my mind She's bad, power of the pleasure is far enough ta chase She's fast, power of the pedal is keeping up the pace Wise up, she's some kind of woman Wise up, you can't get away Wise up, ooh just when you think that its safe I'm gone, I can't justify when I ain't got some control So long, I ain't gonna stop 'till I step right off this world She's gone, I guess I'm the winner of an innocent little time Don't look, a tap on the shoulder sends a shiver down my spine Wise up, she's some kind of woman Wise up, can't get away Wise up, oh just when you think that its safe (safe) ... She's back Cryin', to give all the lovin' but I never was enough I cried, I prayed up to Heaven but the Lord said, "Boy that's tough." This smile, only served me to ruin me when I thought I had direction That walk, how the hell did she do it every move was perfection Wise up, she's some kind of woman Wise up, you can't get away Wise up, ooh just when you think that its safe Ooh she's back Ah she's back Ahh my motors runnin' It's buzzin' Ooh she's back Ah Ooh she's back Ooh
