God is Dead?
Lyrics
Lost in the darkness
I fade from the light
Faith of my father, my brother, my Maker and Savior
Help me make it through the night
Blood on my conscious
And murder in mind
Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom
Now my body is my shrine
The blood runs free
The rain turns red
Give me the wine
You keep the bread
The voices echo in my head
Is God alive or is God dead?
Is God dead?
Rivers of evil
Run through dying land
Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal, and borrow. There is no tomorrow
For the sinners will be damned
Ashes to ashes
You cannot exhume a soul
Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust,
Leaves you empty and unwhole?
When will this nightmare be over? Tell me!
When can I empty my head?
Will somebody tell me the answer?
Is God really dead?
Is God really dead?
To safeguard my philosophy
Until my dying breath
I transfer from reality
Into a mental death
I empathize with enemy
Until the timing’s right
With God and Satan at my side
From darkness will come light
I watch the rain
And it turns red
Give me more wine
I don’t need bread
These riddles that live in my head
I don’t believe that God is dead
God is dead
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Wondering if we will me again
On the other side
Do you believe a word
what the Good Book said?
Or is it just a holy fairytale
And God is dead?
God is Dead x4
Right!
But still the voices in my head
Are telling me that god is dead
The blood pours down
The rain turns red
I don’t believe that God is dead
God is Dead x4
I fade from the light
Faith of my father, my brother, my Maker and Savior
Help me make it through the night
Blood on my conscious
And murder in mind
Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom
Now my body is my shrine
The blood runs free
The rain turns red
Give me the wine
You keep the bread
The voices echo in my head
Is God alive or is God dead?
Is God dead?
Rivers of evil
Run through dying land
Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal, and borrow. There is no tomorrow
For the sinners will be damned
Ashes to ashes
You cannot exhume a soul
Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust,
Leaves you empty and unwhole?
When will this nightmare be over? Tell me!
When can I empty my head?
Will somebody tell me the answer?
Is God really dead?
Is God really dead?
To safeguard my philosophy
Until my dying breath
I transfer from reality
Into a mental death
I empathize with enemy
Until the timing’s right
With God and Satan at my side
From darkness will come light
I watch the rain
And it turns red
Give me more wine
I don’t need bread
These riddles that live in my head
I don’t believe that God is dead
God is dead
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Wondering if we will me again
On the other side
Do you believe a word
what the Good Book said?
Or is it just a holy fairytale
And God is dead?
God is Dead x4
Right!
But still the voices in my head
Are telling me that god is dead
The blood pours down
The rain turns red
I don’t believe that God is dead
God is Dead x4
End of the Beginning
Lyrics
Is this the end of the beginning?
Or the beginning of the end?
Losing control or are you winning?
Is your life real or just pretend?
Reanimation of the sequence
Rewinds the future to the past.
To find the source of the solution;
The system has to be recast.
Release your mind.
Fast forward to the secrets of your soul.
Your life's on overload.
Is this your fate?
Will you decide what makes you an entity-
That's your identity
Well if you don't know
Which way to go
You might be lost and confused
A second chance no time to lose
Reanimation of your cyber sonic soul.
Transforming time and space beyond control;
Rise up and resist to be the master of your fate.
Don't look back before today- tomorrow is too late.
Solo
You don't want to feel...
Analyze a new reality
Keep inside until they set you free.
Alright-okay till they set you free...
Alright-okay till they set you free...
Or the beginning of the end?
Losing control or are you winning?
Is your life real or just pretend?
Reanimation of the sequence
Rewinds the future to the past.
To find the source of the solution;
The system has to be recast.
Release your mind.
Fast forward to the secrets of your soul.
Your life's on overload.
Is this your fate?
Will you decide what makes you an entity-
That's your identity
Well if you don't know
Which way to go
You might be lost and confused
A second chance no time to lose
Reanimation of your cyber sonic soul.
Transforming time and space beyond control;
Rise up and resist to be the master of your fate.
Don't look back before today- tomorrow is too late.
Solo
You don't want to feel...
Analyze a new reality
Keep inside until they set you free.
Alright-okay till they set you free...
Alright-okay till they set you free...
Loner
Lyrics
He's just a loner.
He never says hello.
A friend to no one.
He's got no place to go.
He don't look happy.
He look through furtive eyes.
He aint got nothing.
No one to sympathize.
He hides himself away.
His secrets not revealed.
As life just passes by he keeps himself concealed.
A solitary man.
An enigmatic child.
A riddle never solved.
A prisoner exiled.
I wonder if the loner can assimilate.
A life less lived alone plays devil's advocate.
Has he ever tried to be happy?
Reached out from inside.
Someone on who he can depend.
It's getting to late to recover.
He won't stand a chance and into his own hell he'll descend.
Don't descend.
No understanding of things we already know.
He has to live his life and just learn how to let go.
Communication's an impossibility.
His own best friend but he's his own worst enemy.
The secrets of his past locked deep inside his head.
I wonder if he will be happy when he's dead.
He never says hello.
A friend to no one.
He's got no place to go.
He don't look happy.
He look through furtive eyes.
He aint got nothing.
No one to sympathize.
He hides himself away.
His secrets not revealed.
As life just passes by he keeps himself concealed.
A solitary man.
An enigmatic child.
A riddle never solved.
A prisoner exiled.
I wonder if the loner can assimilate.
A life less lived alone plays devil's advocate.
Has he ever tried to be happy?
Reached out from inside.
Someone on who he can depend.
It's getting to late to recover.
He won't stand a chance and into his own hell he'll descend.
Don't descend.
No understanding of things we already know.
He has to live his life and just learn how to let go.
Communication's an impossibility.
His own best friend but he's his own worst enemy.
The secrets of his past locked deep inside his head.
I wonder if he will be happy when he's dead.
Unbiased: This album was released on June 10th, 2013. This album features three original members of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler. Bill Ward, the original drummer of the band didn't want to be with the band due to conflict of the contract. Since Bill left, they recruited Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine to help with this album. Black Sabbath has legendary credibility, due to being one of the first heavy metal bands, and carrying huge popularity throughout the years. The only band member that has stayed with the band the entire time is guitarist Tony Iommi. Despite being named "13" this is the bands nineteenth studio album up to date.
Biased: Don't know what to say. This album is great, it's something I expect from the band. Iommi still sounds beast on the guitar, Ozzy sounds like he did when they recorded the song Black Sabbath, and Butler writing dark and tremendous lyrics. Brad is not a bad on this album at all either, he really knows how to work these drums, which doesn't surprise me since Rage does have a higher tempo then Black Sabbath most of the time. The sound of this album sounds similar to Paranoid, which is great since that's my favorite Ozzy era album. There's nothing for me to say, listen to the album if you like classic Black Sabbath, and you'll see the similarities. Well there is one thing, Tony Iommi can mate with my wife if I ever get married. If there's one thing I can always count on in a Sabbath song, no matter what, it's Iommi forming a badass riff.
