1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
You've seen life through distored eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
And fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you
You wanna see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
And fill your head all full of lies
Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell
Everything aroud you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dognose
Bog blasts all of you
Sabbath, bloody sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you
2. A National Acrobat
I am the world that hides the universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived
When little worlds collide I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories are cast into a neverending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never see the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran
Well I know it's hard for you to know the reason why
And I know you'll understand more when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have will be your only one
You have to let your body sleep to let your soul live on
Love has given life to you and now it's your concern
Unseen eye of inner life will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch the seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls, the secret stays unknown
Just remember love is life and hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth and live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned but now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess what this next life will bring

4. Sabbra Cadabra
Feel so good I feel so fine
Love that little lady always on my mind
Gives me lovin' every night and day
Never gonna leave her never goin' away
Someone to love me
You know she makes me feel alright
Someone who needs me
Love me every single night
Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love it's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Gonna love that woman till the end of time
Someone to live for
Love me till the end of time
Makes me feel happy
Good to know that she's all mine
Lovely lady, make love all night long
Lovely lady, never do me wrong
I don't wanna leave ya
I never wanna leave ya
Anymore, nore
Lovely lady, mystifying eyes
Lovely lady, she don't tell me no lies
I know I'll never leave ya
I'm never gonna leave ya
Anymore, no more
5. Killing Yourself to Live
Well people look and people stare
Well I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give
You're only killing yourself to live
Just take a look around you what do you see
Pain, suffering and misery
It's not the way that the world was meant
It's a pity you don't understand
Killing yourself to live
You think that I'm crazy and baby I know that it's true
Before that you know it I think that you'll go crazy too
I don't know if I'm up or down
Whether black is white or blue is brown
The colours of my life are all different somehow
Little boy blue's a big girl now
So you think it's me who's strange
But you never had to make the change
Never give your trust away
You'll end up paying till your dying day
6. Who Are You?
Yes I know the secret
That's within your mind
You think all the people
Who worship you are blind
You're just like big brother
Giving us your trust
Then when you have played enough
You'll just cast our souls into the dust
Into the dust
You thought that it would be easy
From the very start
Now I've found you out
I don't think you're so smart
I only have one more question
Before my time is through
Please I beg you tell me
In the name of Hell, who are you
Who are you
7. Looking for Today
It's complete but obsolete
All tomorrow's become yesterday
In demand but second hand
It's been heard before you even play it
Up to date but came too late
Better get yourself another name
You're so right but overnight
You're the one who has to take the blame
Everyone just stands on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried
Don't delay you're in today
But tomorrow is another dream
Sunday's star is Monday's scar
Out of date before you're even seen
At the top so quick to flop
You're so new but rotting in decay
Like butterfly so quick to die
Cause you're only looking for today
Everyone just stands on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried
Glamour trip soon to slip
Easy come but oh how quick it goes
Ten foot tall but what a fall
Hard to open yet so easy to close
Front page news but so abused
You just wanna hide yourself away
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you're only looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
8. Spiral Architect
Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of God sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see my world and know that it is good
You know that I should
Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disguise
Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth and know that they are good
You know that I should
Watching eyes of celluloid tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay
Give, give, give
Laughter, kissing, love is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I build you pay
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth and know that it is good
You know that I should
You know that I should
