01. End Of The Beginning

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
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 code.
Your life's on overload
Delete or save the units that make you an entity
That's your Identity.

If you don't know which way to go you may feel lost and confused
A Second chance your time to lose

Regeneration of your Cyber sonic soul,
transformed in time and space beyond control.
Rise up reset and be the master of your fate.
Don't look back, live for today, tomorrow is too late.

You don't want to be a robot ghost occupied inside a human host.
Analysed and cloned relentlessly, synthesized until they set you free.

Alright, okay, alright till they set you free.
Alright, okay till they set you free.

Free. Free. I'm Free. Be Free.

I don't wanna see you - yeah yeah yeah yeah.
I don't wanna see you - yeah yeah yeah yeah

02. God Is Dead?

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
Lost in the darkness I fade from the light
Faith of my father, my brother, my maker and Saviour
Help me make it through the night
Blood on my conscience 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 can not exhume my 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 someone 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 living death

I empathize with enemies until the time is right
With God and Satan at my side, from darkness will come light
I watch the rain as it turns red
Give me more wine I don't need bread
These riddles that live inside my head

I don't believe that God is dead!
God is dead
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Wondering if we will meet again on the other side
Do you believe a word, what the good book says
Or is it just a holy fairytale and God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
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
God is dead
God is dead

03. Loner

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
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 looks 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 too late to recover
He won't stand a chance
and into his own hell he'll descend. Don't descend.

No understand 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'll be happy when he's dead.

04. Zeitgeist

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
Astral engines in reverse
I'm falling through the universe again
Down among the deadmen's vision
Faded dreams and nuclear fission spent

The strings of theory are holding up the race
The puppets falling to the ground
The love I feel as I fly endlessly through space
Lost in time, I wonder will my ship be found

On this sinking ship I travel faster than the speed of light
Not so supernova burns
The black holes turn and fade from sight

The strings of theory hide in the human race
The answers buried underground
The love I feel as I fly endlessly through space
Lost in time, I wonder will my ship be found

And very soon the bomber's moon will show us light
And as we crash we'll pray and kiss and say goodnight.
Goodnight.

05. Age Of Reason

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
Do you hear the thunder raging in the sky?
Premonition of a shattered world that's gonna die

In the age of reason, how do we survive?
The protocols of evil ravaging so many lives?

Mystifying silence talking peace on Earth
We should judge each other for ourselves
not what we're worth.

Sustainable extinction, a fractured human race.
A jaded revolution disappears without a trace

Always felt that there'd be trouble
Mass distraction hides the truth
Prozac days and sleepless hours
Seeds of change that don't bear fruit

These times are heavy and you're all alone
The battle's over by the war goes on

Politics, religion, love of money too.
It's what the world was built for but not for me and you

06. Live Forever

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
Just before you die they say you'll see your life go flashing by
Cold dark endless night, to burn in hell or bathe in Heaven's light.

Well I don't want to live forever but I don't want to die.
I may be dreaming but whatever, I live inside a lie.

Days pass by too son, waiting for the rising of the moon
No escape from here, facing death but is your conscience clear

I may be dreaming or whatever, watching my life go by
And I don't want to love forever but I don't want to die

Well, I don't want to live forever but I don't want to die.
I may be dreaming but whatever, I live inside a lie

Don't want to live forever but I don't want to die.
Don't want to live forever but I don't want to die.

07. Damaged Soul

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
Born in a graveyard adopted by sin
I cultivate evil that's living within
A preacher tried saving my black damaged soul
Possessed by a demon that had full control

The time it is coming when all life will end
With doomsday approaching to hell we'll descend
Religion won't save me, the damage is done
The future has ended before it's begun

Death's hand and the crazy, I can't stand the light of day
Watching all the victims on their knees as they pray.
God of the almighty never answers their call
Satan is just waiting for the righteous to fall to him.

I don't mind dying cause I'm already read.
Pray not for the living I'll live in your head
Dying is easy it's living that's hard
I'm losing the battle between Satan and God.

08. Dear Father

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
A childhood innocence was drowned in your tears
The demons that you fought are feeding your fears
The poisoned secrets of your life stand revealed
The truth destroys you, it's no longer concealed

Dear Father forsaken, you know what you were doing
In silence your violence has left my life in ruin
Yeah, in ruin, yeah

You preyed upon my flesh them prayed for my soul
Belief betrayed by lust the faith that you stole
Indoctrination by a twisted desire,
The catechism of an evil messiah

Dear father forgive me, I know just what I'm doing
In silence this violence will leave your life in run
Yeah, in ruin, yeah

Preacher of theocracy hiding your hypocrisy
Under a false sanctity, holy phoney empathy
You have taken my life, now it's your turn to die

Can you sleep at night?
When you close your eyes do you think of all the pain from your lies?
Or do you deny you're responsible for the victims of the sins you devised?

What you gonna tell them when they ask you?
Well then this is your conscience pure in your hear?
There is no exemption when you seek redemption for all the lives that you've torn apart

Your molestations for the cross you defiled,
A man once holy now despised and revised
You took possession while confessing my sins
And now you have to face whatever death brings, yeah

Dear father forsaken, you know what you were doing
In silence your violence has left my life in ruin, yeah
In ruin yeah, yeah, yeah
In ruin yeah.

09. Methademic

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
The epidemic from a crystal lie puts you in a super overdrive
The methademic that is so hard to hide,
Insanely staring with wide eyes.

Hallucinating in a chemical hell ain't my idea of having fun
Synthetic overload, you're under it's spell.
Your super nightmare's just begun

You try to stop but it controls you.
Your love affair with it won't last.
You're on a suicidal ride of self-destruction,
And in the end you're gonna crash.

You live too fast. You live too Fast.

You look just like a dead man live,
Losing the fight for survival.
You sit and wait at hell's fiery gate,
Waiting the Devil's arrival - ha ha.

You love so fast you need more methademic crystal
You never sleep you just keep going'
Just push the trigger on your hypodermic pistol.
Each time you're dying without knowing.

You live too fast. You live too fast.

What's the point?
It's killing you without you even knowing.
I can tell you've sold your soul and hell is where you're going.
Ha Ha, I'll see you there.

Ahhhhhhh. Ahhhhhhh. Ahhhhhhh. Ahhhhhhh.

10. Peace Of Mind

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
I wish somebody would empty my head.
I am so sorry for the things that I've said.
This hopeless feeling that's living inside.
I'm just a lonely soul who's trying to find some peace of mind.

I ain't no hero. Who's gonna save you?
I'll just say hi as I'm passing right through.
I ain't that crazy, I'm only here for the ride.
So please forgive me while I'm trying to find some peace of mind.

I don't believe a word.
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right.
Wrong or right. It wasn't long ago.
If tomorrow I could win the fight. The fight.

Caught in the middle as the front line falls,
It looks like I don't stand a chance.
If only I could turn my life around,
How would I find the circumstance.

Read in between the lines.
Truth that is neither black nor white. Black nor White.
Just give me something real.
Broken man, still searching for the light in the night.

Caught in the middle as the front line falls.
It looks like I don't stand a chance.
If only I could turn my life around,
Or is this just the circumstance.

11. Pariah

Music by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler
Lyrics by Geezer Butler
Pariah from soceity
Addicted to sobreity.
A product of a virgin birth,
Another God on Earth.
Yes that's your fantasy.

Do you believe every word I say?
Make your own truth and get out of my way

I'm your pariah, for your desire.
Ain't no Messiah, just your pariah.

You say that you can read my mind.
Be careful of what you might find.
You think that you can be like me,
And see what my eyes see,
But you're no friend of mine.

An Angel or the Antichrist
A symbol of your own device,
Pathetic in your own sad way.
You're just one pill away from taking my advice.

Do you believe every word I say?
Make up your mind and get out of my way.

I'm your pariah, for your desire.
Ain't no Messiah, just your pariah.

Do you believe that I'm from heaven?
That I descended from the sky?
The graven image of a pseudo icon,
To worship me on high.

I'm not your saviour.
I got no wings to fly.
Just your pariah,
Don't look to me when your life is over.

I'm your pariah, for your desire.
Ain't no messiah, just your pariah.

Ain't no messiah, just your pariah.
