""Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
...
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence."

Leaving Eden

Put the thorn in my side, the coins on my eyes
I'm not awake, I'm leaving Eden
And all her frozen charms lie cold in my arms
Panic went away and left me reeling
It's warm outside but the weather fails to hide
the stinging loss inside
For in the back of my mind I always thought I'd find my way to paradise
On I'd walk to paradise ...

But grace and lies locked the door from the other side
And now there's not much else there
Grace and lies
In all how long can you hide, how long?
The cost of innocence is the loss of innocence
Some may pass away, but some die screaming
When it came to my time, oh it took me by surprise
Was it my mistake, or am I born for giving in?

"Are you in
Or are you out
Words are stones

In my mouth

Hush little baby

Don't you cry

Truth comes down

Strikes me in the eye

Turning seasons within

Brand new nails across my skin

Who am I to imply?

That I was found and I found you in the white

To overcome this I become one with

Quiet colder late november

If you dont see I remain unseen

Till it's time to be rememebered

So I had a green light

I was lost in city lights

Not so far from a try

This is not our last good bye

Don't you cry...

So i found you

found the way all through

the quiet cold of inner darkness

now that you're here

it becomes so clear

i have waited for you always"

"God is dead?" - Black Sabbath (Lyrics)

Listened to this song too much yesterday and couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I decided to transcribe them myself.


Please let me know of any inaccuracies.

Lyrics:

"Lost in the darkness
I fade from the light
Faith of my father, my brother, my maker and saviour
Help it 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 cannot exhume a soul
Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all of 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 empathise 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 rivers that live in my head
I don't believe that God is dead
God is dead


Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Wonder if we will meet again on the other side
Can you believe a word
What the good book said
Or is it just a holy fairytale and God is dead?
God is dead

God is dead x 4

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 x 3"

Btw, thanks to my friend Oscar for helping out with the lyrics! :-D
