1. Black Sabbath
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me,
Turn 'round quick and start to run,
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh, No!
Big black shape with eyes of fire,
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there he's smiling,
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, No, No please God help me!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's come around the bend,
People running 'cos they're scared
Ya people better go and beware
No! No! Please! No!
2. N.I.B.
Oh yeah!
Some people say my love can not be true
Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
Living the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real,
Before you know the way I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me under my pow'r
Our love grows stronger now with ev'ry hour
Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real,
Before you know the way I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel,
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me under my pow'r
Our love grows stronger now with ev'ry hour
Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
3. Paranoid
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late
4. War Pigs
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord Yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave thier role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
And as God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!
5. Iron Man
I am Iron Man!
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he 'live or dead?
(Has he / Icy) thoughts with in his head?
We'll just pass him there,
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him;
He just stares at the world,
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfurl
Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear,
Vengeance from the grave
kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him;
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
drills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can,
Iron Man lives again
6. Children Of The Grave (edited version)
Children of the Grave
Children of the Grave
Children of the Grave
7. Orchid
8. 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
9. Snowblind
What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my pain
Icicles within my brain
(Cocaine)
Something blowin' in my head
Winds of ice that soon will spread,
Down to freeze my very soul
Makes me happy makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see,
The snowflakes glisten on the tree(s)
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel the snowflakes freezing me
Let the winter sunshine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams of flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling globe
Right!
Don't you think I know what I'm doing?
Don't tell me that's it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really the loser
This is where I feel I belong
Blind!
Crystal world with winter flowers,
Turn my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
10. Tomorrow's Dream
Well, I'm leaving tomorrow at day break,
Had the fastest train around nine
Yes, I'm leaving this sorrow and heart-aches,
Before it takes me away from my mind
Send me love and I may let you see me,
Send me holes that can (fit/spin) in my head
But if you really want me to answer,
I could only let you know when I'm dead
When sadness fills my days,
It's time to turn away
And let tomorrow's dreams
become reality to me
Right!
So realize I'm much better without you,
You're not the one and only thing in my heart,
I'll just go back to pretending I'm living,
But this time I'm gonna have the star part
11. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
You see right through distorted 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,
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,
Fill your head all full of lies.
You bastards!
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.
Burns out confusion, nothing more to tell.
Yeah.
Ev'rything around you, what's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows; (bog/god) blast all of you.
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, nothing more to do.
Living just for dying, dying just for you
Yeah.
12. Sabbra Cadabra
Feel so good I feel so fine,
Love that little lady always on my mind
She gives me lovin' ev'ry night and day
Never gonna leave her, never goin' away
Someone to love me,
You know she makes me feel all right

13. Symptom Of The Universe
Take me through the centuries to super sonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes
Yeah Yeah
Mother moon she's calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh hundredth unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe a love that never (died/dies)
Yeah Yeah

Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
With our love we'll ride away into eternal skies

14. Am I Going Insane? (Radio)
Ev'rybody's looking at me
Feeling paranoid inside (leave)
When I step outside I'll feel free
Think I'll find a place to hide
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Ev'ryday I sit and wonder
How my life it used to be
Now I feel like going under
Now my life is hard to see
So tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
So I'm telling all you people
Listen while I sing again
If I don't sound very cheerful
I think that I'm a schizophrene
So tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people,
Am I going insane, insane?
