Black Sabbath Lyrics - Mob Rules
Turn up the Night
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well The (darkened deliver/darken nether), I shake and I shiver down your soul You know what to cover, I think for another it's a story told So get a good hold, yeah Rattle the voodoo, you thought that you knew who you are Simple equation, (that's-the-relation/des-o-lation), but that's gone too far A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know, So let it all go, yeah Turn up the night! Turn up the night! Turn up the night, it feels so right! Night hides sorrow, day can light pain Glick: Black will not become a, white is for the saint Slenker: Black will not be colour, (white's/lies) for saint Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn! A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well The darkened (deliver/nether), I shake and I shiver down your soul So get a good hold, yeah Turn up the night! Turn up the night! Turn up the night, it feels so right! Gotta turn up the night! Turn up the night! Turn up the night, it feels so right! Turn up the night, or turn off the light! Get out the light! Or turn up the night, it feeled right! Or turn off the light, it feeled right! Shut off the light! Or turn up the night! Turn up the night!
Voodoo
Say you don't love me, you'll burn You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me Say you don't love me, you'll learn Nothin' you'll do will be new, 'cause I'm through, ah-ah. Call me a liar, you knew You were a fool, but that's cool, it's alright Call me the Devil, it's true Some can't accept but I crept inside you So if a stranger calls you Don't let him whisper his name 'cause it's voodoo, oh! Fade into shadow, you'll burn Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good Never look back, never turn It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn So if a stranger sees you Don't look in his eyes 'cause he's voodoo, oh! Say you don't love me, you'll burn You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me Say you don't love me, you'll learn Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through Voodoo! Right! Bring me your children, they'll burn Never look back, never turn Cry me a river, you learn Voodoo!
The Sign of the Southern Cross
If there isn't light when no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe? A story told that can't be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah Fade away, fade away Vanish into small Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball - oh It's the sign Feels like (a) time, hmmm On a small world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer fall If an echo doesn't answer When it hears a certain song Then the beast is free to wander But never is seen around And it's the sign of the Southern Cross It's the sign of the Southern Cross, alright! Sail away To the sign Ohh From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalm Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong Reach above your dreams of pleasure Given life to those who died Look beyond your own horizons Sail the ship of sign And it's the sign of the Southern Cross It's the sign of the Southern Cross Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Fade away, fade away I can't accept it anymore Ahh On a real world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere ohh There's a rainbow see it shimmer When the summer fall From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalm Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong It's the sign of the Southern Cross It's the sign of the Southern Cross Don't live for pleasure Make life your treasure Fade away Eight miles high about to fall And no one there to catch you Look for the sign, the time The sign of the Southern Cross, fade on
The Mob Rules
Oh...Come on! Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh You've nothing to say They're breaking away If you listen to fools The mob rules The mob rules... Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh It's over it's done The end, the big death If you listen to fools The mob rules... You've nothing to say Oh they're breaking away If you listen to fools Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground Just remember it might stop rolling and take you right back around You're all fools, fools rules rules The mob rules
Country Girl
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from (another/a nether) world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah Ooh-ooh, yeah We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bit Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air, oh, yeah In dreams I think of you I don't know what to do with myself Time has let me down She brings broken dreams, fallen stars The endless search for where you are Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on Now fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh Don't sail away on a crimson tide Don't leave your heart on the other side Her eyes are an endless flame Ooh desire what a special name Don't ever fall in love Don't give your heart away No never, never fall in love with a country girl
Slipping Away
Ooh! Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster Nothin' to make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone Turnnin' the page, yeah, got to start another story Slippin' away, slippin' away, time to move along No reason to stay Oh when I'm slippin' away Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle Round and round you go, you're a start without an end Send you a life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies Running away, slippin' away, right behind the cloud Slippin' away Slippin' away Nobody to pay Look out, 'cause I'm slippin' away Rockin' the glass, I won't leave you my reflection A future without a past, no more road to take me back, no Come if you will, yeah, just don't question my direction Dragging away, slippin' away, we can find the sun Slippin' away Slippin' away Got nobody to pay So I'm just slippin' away No more runnin' in a circle It's time to move along Round round round we go A start without an end So I'm slippin' away Slippin' away
Falling off the Edge of the World
I think about closing the door And lately I think of it more I'm living well out of my time I feel like I'm losin' my mind I should be at the table round A servant of the crown The keeper of the sign To sparkle and to shine Never, no never again Listen to me and believe what I say if you can Never, this is the end You know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man Help me, tell me I'm sane I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain Save me, oh take me away You know I've seen some creatures from Hell and I've heard what they say I've got to be strong Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world, hmm-mm Think you're safe but you're wrong We are falling off the edge of the world Look out there's danger, no where to run Seems like desperate measures but sometimes its got to be done Over, its over at last And the message inside as we build a new life from the past We're falling off the edge of the world Yes, the edge of the world It's the end of the world
Over and Over
Sometimes I feel like I'm dyin' at dawn And sometimes I'm warm as fire But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain And it goes over and over, and over again, yeah yeah Too many flames, with too much to burn And life's only made of paper Oh how I need to be free of this pain Watch it goes over and over, and over and over again Ohhoh and sometimes I cry for the lost and alone And for their dreams that will all be ashes But lately I feel like I'm just gonna reign And it goes over and over, and over and over again Over and over, and over again Over and over again Over and over, and over again Over and over again Over and over, and over again Over and over again Over and over, and over again Over and over again Over and over, and over again
