Another Ozzfest, another album, and another year of the Ozz-Man is in the books. No one can argue with the fact that Ozzy Osbourne is an icon. I like to call him “The Johnny Cash of Heavy Metal.”
Look at their careers and you will see where I draw some of the parallels. His successful career [...]
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 realise that you’re gonna die
Drinking your blood brew is your answer
That’s what you plan to do
No dreaming, time you cheat this master
You’re on your own going through
Wind of mist has [...]
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’s mirror said “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
Oh, don’t you ever, don’t ever say die
Never, never, never say [...]
It’s Alright
Told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they’ll never find it
It’s alright, yes it’s alright
Where to go and where to see
It’s always been this way and it can never be
It’s alright, yes it’s alright
Give it all and ask no return
And very soon you’ll see and you’ll begin to learn
That’s [...]
The Thrill Of It All
Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift
With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry
Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die
Won’t you help me Mr. Jesus, won’t you tell me if you can?
When you see this world we live [...]
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
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 gets on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can’t believe [...]
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 [...]
Under The Sun / Every Day Comes & Goes
Well I don’t want no Jesus freak to tell me what it’s all about
No black magician telling me to get my soul out
Don’t believe in violence, I don’t even believe in peace
I’ve opened the door and my mind has been released
Well I don’t want no preacher telling [...]
Snowblind
What you get and what you see
Things that don’t come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
(cocain)
Something blowing in my head
Winter’s ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I [...]
Supernaut
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun
But I don’t need to fly
I’m gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
I’ve crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the crossing near a golden rainbow’s end
I’ve been through magic and through [...]
