Solitude.....Black Sabbath Appreciation Thread....

[jus_the_facts]

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

....let us PRAISE Master of Reality Sabbath Fans!

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.

14. Symptom of the Universe....

....I wish I had that jacket Ozzy has on...and the necklace too!!




Take me through the centuries to supersonic 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

Mother mooch is calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

Yeah

Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean Ive been crying all these years
When our love will ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

Yeah

Oh my child of loves creation, come and step inside my dreams
In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means
Take my hand and well go riding through the sunshine from above
Well find happiness together in the summer skies of love

11. Wow, he resembles Kelly a lot there, haha.

[idgiehkt]

3. wow,

I really like that first set of lyrics. Nothing will ever surpass "Paranoid" for me though. That song just does something to me.

[jus_the_facts]

6. The song is hauntingly beautiful....their drummer Bill Ward sings it.....

....just an amazingly awesome tune off Master of Reality! Here ya go...


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 too late



on edit...another great Bill Ward vocal contribution is on Technical Ecstacy...the song is It's Alright...

Told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright
Where to going and where to see
It's always been that way and it can never be
It's alright, 'cos it's alright
Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That's it's alright, 'cos it's alright

Ooh...it's alright, 'cos it's alright

Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, 'cos it alright
So I told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, 'cos it's alright
Ooh...
Alright alright alright alright alright
alright alright alright alright alright
alright alright alright alright alright
alright am i immortal alright alright alright

[jus_the_facts]

7. Sweeeeeet 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 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
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

"War Pigs" as performed by The Dresden Dolls.

[jus_the_facts]

13. my computer is to old and slow....

...to watch those videos...dammit! Thanks for the thought though!

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths 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 that role to the poor

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
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!
