Lyrics Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality
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 (watching/wanting) you and your kind. Oh yeah 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 / hemp) I love you sweet leaf though you can't hear Oh yeah 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 Oh yeah baby Come on now! Oh yeah! Try me out baby! Alright! Oh yeah-ah! I want you part of this sweet leaf! Oh yeah! Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh try me out I love ya sweet leaf, oh
After Forever
Have you ever thought about your soul? Can it be saved? Or perhaps you think that when you are 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/Will) I see 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 believed 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 that you may as well worship the sun. I think it is 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/no) you can't retrieve. Perhaps you think before you say God is dead and gone Open your eyes, just realize that he is the one, The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate. Or will you jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.
Children of the Grave
Revolution in their mind, 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. Yeah! Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sun rise of tomorrow bringing 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? Yeah! 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. Yeah! Children of the Grave Children of the Grave Children of the Grave
Lord of this World
You're searching for your mind don't know where to start, Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart You think you know but you are never quite sure, Your soul is ill but you will not find a cure. Yeah Your world was made for you by someone above, But you chose evil ways instead of love You made me master of the world where you exist, The soul I took from you was not even missed. Yeah Lord of this world, Evil Possessor, Lord of this world, He's your confessor now! You think you're innocent you've nothing to fear, You don't know me, you say, but isn't it clear? You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride, But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? Yeah
Solitude
My name it means nothing My fortune is less My future is shrouded in dark wilderness Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on, Everything I possess, now they are gone, they are gone, they are gone Oh where can I go to and what can I do? Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you You just laughed when I begged you to stay I've not stopped crying since you went away, you went away, you went away The world is a lonely place you're on your own Guess I will go home sit down and moan Crying and thinking is all that I do, Memories I have remind me of you, of you, of you
Into the Void
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast, Up into the night sky they blast, Through the universe the engines whine, Could it be the end of man and time? Back on earth the flame of life burns low, Ev'rywhere is misery and woe, Pollution kills the air, the land and sea, Man prepares to meet his destiny. Yeah Rocket engines burning fuel so fast, Up into the black sky so vast, Burning metal through the atmosphere, Earth remains in worry, hate and fear With the hateful battles raging on, Rockets flying to the glowing sun Through the empires of eternal void Freedom from the final suicide Freedom fighters sent out to the sun, Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution Leave the earth to all its sin and hate, Find another world where freedom waits. Yeah Past the stars in fields of ancient void, Through the shields of darkness where they find, Love upon a land a world unknown Where the sons of freedom make their home Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves Leave them to their future in their grave Make a home where love is there to stay Peace and happiness in every day.
