NEON KNIGHTS

Oh no! Here it comes again
I can't remember when we came so close to love before, no no
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again, again and again, and again oh - yeah

Cry out to lesions on the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of light

Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Go by charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell, oh

Bloody angels fast descending
Running on a never-bending light, oh - hey
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows shining ever-bright aye

CHILDREN OF THE SEA

Ooh yeah
In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, the final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky, yeah-hey sinner

We sailed across the air before we learned to fly
We thought that it could never end oh
We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run. Run!
Now it seems our world has come undone

Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be yes
Yes they say that it's o-over
And we're lost children of the sea, oh, yea make it move yeah alright

We made the mountains shake with laughter, ha, as we played oh
Hiding in our corner of the world
Then we did the demon dance, rushed to nevermore
Threw away the key and locked the door

Oh they say that it's over, yea
And it just had to be ooh I see
Yes they say that it's o-over
That you're lost children of the sea, ah oh yeah alright

(ahh---)

Ooh oh yeah
In the misty morning, on the (edge/end) of time
We've lost the rising sun, it's the final sign it's the only time
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the star, we blind the sky

Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be oh oh oh
They say that it's o-over
And you're lost children of the sea, yea

LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down

We'ld like to do something for you from the very very first Black Sabbath album.
First we'ld like you to say hello to Tony Iommi.
We're gonna leave Ton out here on his own for a sec to play the intro to this
song.
We said the very first album, the album was called Black Sabbath,
and the song oddly enough is also entitled BLACK SABBATH.

Big black shape with eyes of fire, mmm

People running 'cos they're scared, no no
People ya better go and beware

WAR PIGS

Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed mind
Oh Lord Yeah! Alright
Got to take your life
No no
Comin' to take you (a)way, help

Mmm well
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that to the poor, alright damn the hell

Kill him

Time will tell in their power mind,
Making war just for fun (yellow/hello)
Treating people like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till the judgement day come, no no no no no
Mmhmm
Something round I fear
Everybody gonna die oh

Oh-ho
Let go
Oh

help - yeah - yes
(satan)
hey hmm
Alright
Oh

Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sin
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!

Coming to take your life away yeah yeah
No - no no no no oh

I am Iron Man!

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall? ooh
Is he 'live or dead?
(I see / Icy) thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there,
Why should we even care?
Oh - Let's create

Hmm yeah
And he was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
for the future of mankind

Nobody wants him;
He just stares at the world, oh
Planning his vengean(ce)
that he will soon unfurl oh alright

Yea. He'll live again

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear,
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

We'd like to especially thank you for this next one.
First time we were around to see you, we had an album out called Heaven
and Hell. And from that album, song that we like quite a bit enjoy

It's called "Heaven and Hell this."

Oh. We'd like you to sing just three words after we do it please.
The words Heaven and Hell.
And I'll do one for ya first so you'll know exactly where it comes.
It's quite easy, but we need your love and power; ya gotta do it with
a lot of strength.
Here's the example.
On and on, on and on it's Heaven and Hell.
Now that's where you do it. Here we go.

Fantastic, that was.
Alright yeah,

Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
Remember, it goes on and on and on it's, Heaven and Hell,
Oh hmm
Not knowing you were going to be this fantastic, we didn't tell you the other
suprise.
Not only are we filming this one, but our next album will be, finally, a live
album from Black Sabbath.
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending it's just the beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
Well the sooner you know that you're dreaming, oh no
It goes on and on and on, when it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell
Yeah. Yeah yeah all the fools are here
Somebody don't know the truth ohoh alright.
Oh oh I know
Ooohh-whooh thought you knew
Yeah yeah-yea
Oh...
Alright ourrr death (satan).
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in (life)
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
It goes on and on, on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Hmm
My life is Heaven and Hell
Somebody gonna do you well
Gonna do you well
Gonna do you well
[Guitar Solo]

THE SIGN OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS/
HEAVEN AND HELL (CONTINUED)
If there isn't light when no one sees
How can I know what you might believe? Yeah
A story told that can't be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah yeah
Fade away, fade away
Vanish into small
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball - oh
It's the sign
Feel like time yea, oh ulhmmah
On a small world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer fall
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain sound
Then the beast is free to wander
But never seen around
And it's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross, alright!
Sail away
To the sign
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can't accept it anymore
Yeah yea-yeah
We sailed away to the star
Fade on, fade on - oh
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
(Ahhh-ah, ahhhhhhhhh-ah...)
There's a big black shape looking up at me oh
He said I know where you ought to be
He said come with me and I'll give you...desire
But first, you got to burn burn burn burn in fire
Oh - yeah-oh - alright
Hmmm
No no - hell no - no no - no no no no no
Then a little white shape looked down at me
Said I know where ya ought to be
Said come with me cos I know just what to do
But I said go away, I'm gonna burn in hell with all of you,
With every last one of you.
Now see ya don't don't belong
I'll take you there, change you there, change you there
We'll fly into hell
It goes on and on, on and on it's Heaven and Hell
On and on, on and on it's Heaven and Hell
On and on, on and on it's Heaven and Hell
On and on, on and on it's Heaven and Hell yea
Oh no, oh-die yeah
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
They'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
When you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no
Fool fool, got to bleed for the dancer
Fool fool oh, look for the answer
Fool, fool, oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Yes yeah oh
Hmmmm

PARANOID
Finished with my woman 'cause she
couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because
I am frowning all the time
Hell-yeah
All day long I think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind
if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
Alright
yeah
I need someone to show me those
things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be blind
I can't see - (all the way)
(yes)
Yeah
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel
And love to me is so unreal
Ohoh
Answer as you hear these words
telling you now of my fate
I tell you to enjoy life,
I wish I could but it's too late
Ohoh
Ohohoh..well.
Alright alright
DIO: Thank you, thank you, thank you all.
Your the best, thank you, good night.
Hey
Crowd: Sabbath Sabbath Sabbath...

CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE
Revolution in their minds, the children start to march
Against the world they're forced to live in
The hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through. Yeah!
Alright
Children of tomorrow live in tears that fall today
Will the sun rise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Ooh
Will they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yea!
Oh yeah, alright.
So you children of the world listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
Tell the world that love is still alive you must be brave,
Or you children of today are children of the grave. Yeah!
Better look out
Oh yeah
Alright
Got to spread the word
Yea
Ohoh
Alright
Yea
DIO: Thank you.
CROWD: Sabbath
DIO: (From) All of us, good night.
