I Witness Lyrics - Cross Purposes - Black Sabbath

Across the desert of the burning dark, a 

Darkness which illuminates you, 

There's a place you've always wanted to be, 

Whose pleasures always did escape you, 

It's always been so out of reach, nothing, so near 

Ever felt so far 

And now it's here within your grasp, a never 

Ending burning says it all. 

[Chorus] 

As you drive into the darkness, in front the future 

Behind you history 

Caught alone in the dark night, do you think 

That's the way it's supposed to be. 

You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is 

Lies, oh yeah. 

You better run from the holy man, the eyes that 

Will are set uppon you, 

Listen not to verse and prayer, song that thrill 

And voices tempt you 

The inner flame has fear of death, never, has 

Light ever seemed so dark. 

Pilgrims of sabbocracy, hear the hounds of 

Heaven, as they bark 

[Chorus] 

I witness a time and a place that never dies, still 

Frozen in time, 

This darkness the only place that I can hide, i 

Witness, a dream. 

[Chorus] 

I witness a time and a place that never dies, still 

Frozen in time, 

This darkness the only place that I can hide, i 

Witness a dream. 

Oh, just a dream.
