The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Lyrics - Cross Purposes - Black Sabbath

Young life, too young, who's eyes are choking, 

Can't rest, can't sleep, for dreams that set you 

Falling 

Don't feel the hunger, can't drink no holy water, 

No light in these eyes, no place for dreams at all 

Tonight 

When the hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand 

That holds the knife, 

And the knife that cuts the cable, kills the spark that 

Feeds the life. 

[Chorus] 

No grave could be deep enough, down to hell if we 

Were able, 

The veil of life was pushed aside, by the hand that 

Rocks the cradle. 

The oath you take is sacred, to save not steel a life, 

Like the passing of the sweetest soul, that looked 

Through human eyes. 

[Chorus] 

Young life, too young, who's eyes are choking, 

Can't rest, can't sleep, for dreams that set you 

Falling. 

Don't feel the hunger, can't drink no holy water, 

No light in these eyes, no place for dreams at all 

Tonight. 

[Chorus] 

It's the hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that 

Steals the life.
