lemme rephrase mine according to what DaFace posted, which is right imo Holy Diver > You // relating us to Satan , one of the famous tradition breakers in the Bible You've been down too long in the midnight sea > the society is the sea Oh what's becoming of me > reflecting yourself of the Ride the tiger > Break tradition You can see his stripes but you know he's clean > you see its ok but society dictates otherwise Oh don't you see what I mean ~ Gotta get away > From society :P Holy Diver Shiny diamonds > Rewards of society , eg. acceptance & popularity Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue > has a good and bad side Something is coming for you > and theres a price Race for the morning > gain from society You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light > til you see the truth Oh we will pray it's all right ~ Gotta get away-get away Between the velvet lies > in the lies There's a truth that's hard as steel > theres a truth The vision never dies > this point of view / tradion will never end Life's a never ending wheel > and thus it is like a wheel , meaning theres no equality Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade > its your life dont be afraid of society No need to look so afraid Jump on the tiger > Break Tradition You can feel his heart but you know he's mean > this is reffering to a person now imo. Some light can never be seen > if it is reffering to a person it may be the metal society otherwise that stanza is the same like the other tiger stanza. again, all the songs' meaning are meant to be found by the listener , so you can relate in your own view |

| Black Sabbath – Children Of The Grave Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This is one scary song , not that it sounds scary but because 1st stanza is about the generation of rebellion 2nd stanza is the reason for the rebellion , war 3rd stanza is about the children of rebellion turning into death freaks sadly when the hippy era ended , it came true. I thought the lyrics was: Show the world that love is still the life you must embrace. lol i heard this song on the 1997 reunion and ozzy was already ..... you know what. IMO sounds better with that line tho |

like all poetic sabbath song, this one is misinterpreted by many and even the band members too, someone here got it right tho. This is about society, mostly about the society thinking its good but in truth it is wrong. I bet Geezer Butler wrote this song. Sing me a song, you're a singer > Your place in society Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil > If you hurt someone , they think of you as a bad person The Devil is never a maker > Religion View of metal / devil is never good The less that you give, you're a taker > Society View , example: rich still greedy even if they give The lover of life's not a sinner > Old philosophy , enjoying life isn't a crime The ending is just a beginner > Religion View , after life The closer you get to the meaning } these 2 lines may be a whack on religion The sooner you know that you're dreaming > these 2 lines may mean failed goals and lies / self delusion Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion > this line speaks for itself For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life > truth hurts, sometimes impossible, thus it turns into lies. / it could also mean lies can also be considered as truth Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer > sadly love is made exalted by society but the giver of grace and life (aka mother earth) doesn't have much protectors. They say that life's a carousel > This stanza tells our society Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well ^ The world is full of Kings and Queens > people will rob you of your success , and you can't do anything Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams ^ It's Heaven and Hell, oh well > And they'll tell you black is really white > society lying The moon is just the sun at night ^ And when you walk in golden halls > its the finder keepers/losers weepers ideology You get to keep the gold that falls > ^ It's Heaven and Hell, noh no Fool fool, you got to bleed for the dancer > protect mother earth Fool fool, look for the answer > do not be blinded by society Fool, fool, fool > All of these refers to the destructive nature of our society , pulling earth to what it is now today , and worse in the future. thankyou for giving justice for this wonderful poetry. RIP Ronnie James Dio |
