    Black Sabbath

    What is this that stands before me
    Figure in black which points at me
    Turn ’round quick and start to run
    Find out I’m the chosen one. Oh no!

    Big black shape with eyes of fire
    Telling people their desire
    Satan sitting there he’s smiling
    Watch those flames get higher and higher.
    Oh no, no
    Please God help me!

    This is the end my friend
    Satan’s coming round the bend
    People running ’cause they’re scared
    You people better go and beware
    No! No! Please! No!

    Sleeping Village

    Red sun rising in the sky
    Sleeping village cock’rel’s cry
    Soft breeze blowing in the trees
    Peace of mind, feel at ease

    Wicked World

    The world today is such a wicked place
    Fighting going on between the human race
    People got to work just to earn their bread
    While people just across the sea are
    counting their dead

    A politician’s job they say is very high
    For he has to choose who’s got to go and die
    They can put a man on the Moon quite easy
    While people here on Earth are dying of all diseases

    A woman goes to work every day after day
    She just goes to work just to earn her pay
    Child sitting crying by a life that’s harder
    He doesn’t even know who is his father

    The Wizard

    Misty morning
    Clouds in the sky
    Without warning
    A wizard walks by

    Casting his shadow
    Weaving his spell
    Flowing clothes
    Tinkling bell

    Never talking
    Just keeps walking
    Spreading his magic

    Evil power
    Disappears
    Demons worry
    When the wizard is near

    He turns tears
    Into joy
    Everyone’s happy
    When the wizard walks by

    Never talking
    Just keeps walking
    Spreading his magic

    Sun is shining
    Clouds have gone by
    All the people
    Give a happy sigh

    He has passed by
    Giving his sign
    Left all the people
    Feeling so fine

    Never talking
    Just keeps walking
    Spreading his magic

    Wasp/Behind the Wall of Sleep/Bassically/N.I.B.

    Visions cupped within a flower
    Deadly petals with strange power
    Faces shine a deadly smile
    Look upon you at your trial

    Chill that numbs from head to toe
    Icy sun with frosty glow
    Words that grow read to your sorrow
    Words that grow read no tomorrow

    Feel your spirit rise with the breeze
    Feel your body falling to its knees
    Sleeping wall of remorse
    Turns your body to a corpse
    Turns your body to a corpse
    Turns your body to a corpse
    Sleeping wall of remorse
    Turns your body to a corpse

    Now from darkness there springs light
    Wall of sleep is cool and bright
    Wall of sleep is lying broken
    Sun shines in you have awoken

    N.I.B

    Some people say my love cannot be true
    Please believe me my love and I’ll show you
    I will give you those things you thought unreal
    The sun the moon the stars all bear my seal

    Follow me now and you will not regret
    Leaving the life you led before we met
    You are the first to have this love of mine
    Forever with me till the end of time

    Your love for me has just got to be real
    Before you know the way I’m going to feel
    I’m going to feel
    I’m going to feel

    Now I have you with me under my power
    Our love grows stronger now with every hour
    Look into my eyes you’ll see who I am
    My name is Lucifer please take my hand

    Evil Woman

    I see the look of evil in your eyes
    Woman filling me all full of lies
    Sorrow will not change your shameful deeds
    You will pass someone else’s bitter seed

    Evil woman don’t you play your games with me
    Evil woman don’t you play your games with me

    Now I know just what you’re looking for
    You want me to claim this child you bore
    Well you know that it must not be
    And you know the way it’s got to be

    Evil woman don’t you play your games with me
    Evil woman don’t you play your games with me
    (Repeat)

    Wickedness lies in your poisoned lips
    Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
    Blackness sleeps on top of your slate bed
    Don’t you wish that you could see me dead

    Evil woman don’t you play your games with me
    Evil woman don’t you play your games with me
    (Repeat)
