Lyrics Black Sabbath - Never Say Die
Never Say Die
People going nowhere taken for a ride, Looking for the answers that they know inside, Searching for a reason looking for a rhyme Snow White innocent* partners in crime! Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Ah don't you ever, don't ever say die Never never, never say die again Sunday satisfaction, Monday's home and dry Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go Hold tight do it right, taken it slow Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die Never never, never say die again Don't you ever say die Don't you ever say die Never say die Fading silver lining, writing on the wall Children get together, you can save us all Future's on the corner, showing us a time Slow down turn around ev'rything's fine There's no need to have a reason There's no need to wonder why It's a part of me that tells you Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die Never never, never say die again *substitute "parasite" for "innocent" if you like Never Say Die!!!
Johnny Blade
Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone People avoid him. They know the street's his home Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild Mean as a tiger, society's own child Those that try to burn him paid You don't do that to Johnny Blade He's the meanest guy around his town One look and he will cut you down Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade Life has no meaning, and Death's his only friend Will fate surprise him? Where will he meet his end? He feels so bitter. Yes, he's so full of hate To die in the gutter, I guess that's Johnny's fate Rivals all across the land He (duke 'em/killed 'em) with his knife in hand He's the meanest guy around his town One look and he will cut you down Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade Well ya know that Johnny's a spider And his web is the city at night He's a victim of modern frustration That's the reason he's so ready to fight He's the one who should be afraid What will happen to you Johnny Blade? Oh he knows his future's decided And he ain't gonna change it no way He was born to die in the gutter He'll keep fighting `till the end of his day Been alone all through his life His only friend is a switchblade knife He's the one who should be afraid What will happen to you Johnny Blade? You fool the people. Who fooled who? It's time to listen. The fool is you.
Junior's Eyes
Junior's eyes, looked up to the skies in tears He prayed that his maker, the giver and taker would 'pear Junior sighed as his hands reached out to the sky Junior cried the day that his best friend died Yeah You're coming home again tomorrow I'm sorry, it won't be for long With all the pain, I've watched you live within I'll try my hardest not to cry when it is time to say goodbye Junior's eyes, they couldn't disguise the pain His father was leaving, and Junior's grieving again Innocent eyes watched the man who gave ev'rything Junior's sorrow; he knew what tomorrow would bring Yeah You're coming home again tomorrow I'm sorry, it won't be for long With all the pain, I've watched you live within I'll try my hardest not to cry when it is time to say goodbye Junior's eyes, looked into the skies once more Now he knew well, this life was hell, for sure He desperately tried, his fingertips stretched to the stars, yeah Reaching for reason, along with the time and the stars Yeah You're coming home again tomorrow I'm sorry, it won't be for long With all the pain, I've watched you live within I'll try my hardest not to cry When it is time to say goodbye
Hard Road
Old men crying, young men dying World still turns as Father Time looks on, on and on Children playing, dreamers praying; Laughter turns to tears; love has gone. Has it gone? Oh it's a hard road Oh it's a hard road Poets yearning, lovers learning on this path of life we pass along, is it wrong? Widows weeping, babies sleeping Life becomes the singer and the song. Sing along. Oh it's a hard road Carry your own load DEVIL: Why make the hard road? Why can't we befriend? No need to hurry We'll meet in the end Why make the hard road? Why can't we befriend? No need to worry Let's sing it again Brother's sharing, mother's caring Night time falling victim to the dawn, shadow's mourn Days are crawling, time is calling; To the Earth another life is born, love line drawn Oh it's a hard road Carry your own load Oh it's a hard road Oh it's a hard road (Oh its a hard road) Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past, And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know (Oh its a hard road) (Oh its a hard road) Forget all your sorrow; don't live in the past, And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know (Oh its a hard road) (Oh its a hard road) Forget all your sorrow; don't live in the past, And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know (Oh its a hard road) (Oh its a hard road) Forget all your sorrow; don't live in the past, And look to the future 'cos life goes too fast, ya know (Oh its a hard road) (Oh its a hard road) Forget all your sorrow;
Shock Wave
There's no reason for you to run You can't escape the fate of the chosen one Black moon rising in a blood red sky This time you realize that you're gonna die Drinking your bloody is your answer That's what you plan to do No dreaming time you cheat Death's master You're on your own, going through Wind of mist has taken over your mind And you think you're on your own Don't believe you are the only one here Look around you're not alone Feel the forces from another world Ghostly shadows fill your mind Evil power hanging over you As you freeze you're like a child (boom high high) Look behind you Somebody's calling, someone is near Feel yourself falling, falling with fear You tell yourself you're dreaming You realize you're screaming You know that this shouldn't happen to you You tell yourself that if this can be true But there is nothing you can do, oh Ghostly shadows from the other world Evil forces in your mind Trapped between the wall of life and death Frozen in the realms of time (boom high high) Look behind you (who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh) (who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh) You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line (who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh) Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind (who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh) Cool cool feelings are running through your brain (who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh) Ice cold fingers flowing through your veins who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh who-ooh who-ooh who-ooh, who-ooh boo-ooze
Air Dance
She sits in silence in her midnight world With faded pictures of a dancing girl Her distant dreamer on the seas of time Her happy mem'ries dancing through her mind In days of romance, she was the queen of dance She'd dance the night away And as the seasons turn the days to years She holds her pictures, hears the silent cheers The days grow lonely for the dancing queen And now she dances only in her dreams In days of romance, she was the queen of dance She'd dance the night away, away, away, away
Over to You
Born in the window, nobody's (spoof/fool) Raised in the prison, you called the school Dark (hulking/arcane) legends know what to do I handed my childhood over to you Traveling endlessly, I'm searching my mind I'm almost afraid of what I will find Wandering aimlessly, oh what can I do? I handed my future over to you, to you Over to you Future looks blue What can I do? Workin' for freedom, fighting your wars Feeding your children, (keeping/leaping) your laws Someday you'll suffer then what I'll do I'll hand all your promises over to you Standing inside myself I'm losing control You made me believe in the stories you told Waiting impatiently, what else can I do? I handed my future over to you, to you Over to you Future looks blue What can I do? Tears filled of sadness, sealed in my (cell/self) Whispering secrets, what do they tell? Mad politicians can tell it too I handed my children over to you All over, over to you All over, over to you All over, over to you All over, over to you
Swinging the Chain
It's against my uniform to be a civil judge All the songs are hist'ry now `bout rock stars and their grudge Let us cast our minds back to thirty years or more You took up all the vandals. Will Hitler beat `em off*? And we're sad and sorry Really sorry that it happened that way Yes we're so so sorry but why'd you have to treat us that way? Compare ourselves with others and cover them in sin Oh God what a terrible, a terrible state we're in There must be some where out of here A compromise that's right If we can not work it out we're gonna have to fight And we're so sorry We're really sorry that it happened that way Yes we're sad and sorry We can not go on another day I'm talking about my brothers Yeah and I'm talking `bout sisters as well And I wish ya, bye Good luck! Bye Oh Lord! You better believe it, you gotta believe in Oh but the world's still on fire You better believe it, you gotta believe in You better believe it, you gotta believe in Chain that holds your tiny cross you liar You better believe it, you gotta believe in You better believe it, you gotta believe in This fire__! You better believe it, you gotta believe in You better believe it, you gotta believe in We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah! You better believe it, you better believe in You better believe it, you gotta believe in Yeah, yeah, man, yeah-ah! You better believe it, you gotta believe in You better believe it, you gotta believe in Oh-Oh... take oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh... You better believe it, you gotta believe in You better believe it, you gotta believe in *all
