The Writ Lyrics - Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978) - Black Sabbath

The way I feel is the way I am 

I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you 

Just to you 

What kind of people do you think we are? 

Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you 

Just for you 

The faithful image of another man 

The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you 

Yeah for you 

The shot troopers laying down on the floor 

I wish they'd put an end to my running war with you 

Yeah with you 

Are you metal, are you man? 

You've changed in life since you began 

Yeah began 

Ladies digging gold from you 

Will they still dig now you're through 

Yeah you're through 

You bought and sold me with your lying words 

The voices in the deck that you never heard came through 

Yeah came through 

Your folly finally got to spend with a gun 

A poisoned father who has poisoned his son, that's you 

Yeah that's you 

I beg you please don't let it get any worse 

The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you 

Yeah curse you 

All of the promises that never came true 

You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true 

Ah, that's true 

Are you Satan, are you man? 

You've changed in life since it began 

It began 

Vultures sucking gold from you 

Will they still suck now you're through 

(Cats, rats) 

The search is on, so you just better run 

And find yourself another way 

Probably dead, they don't feel a thing 

To keep them living for another day 

(Rats, rat) 

You are nonentity, you have no destiny 

You are a victim of a thing unknown 

A mantle picture of a stolen soul 

A fornication of your golden throne 

A smiling face, it means the world to me, yeah 

So tired of sadness and of misery 

My life it started some time ago 

Where it will end, I don't know 

I thought I was so good 

I thought I was fine 

I feel my world is out of time 

But everything is gonna work out fine 

If it don't I think I'll lose my mind 

I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know 

Listen to me while I sing this song 

You might just think the words are wrong 

Too many people advising me 

But they don't know what my eyes see 

But everything is gonna work out fine 

If it don't I think I'll lose my mind, yeah
