Black Sabbath – The Mob Rules Lyrics 16 years ago
(The song is about the crucifixion and death of Christ)

Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh

You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools
The mob rules
The mob rules...

(Christ said nothing to Pilate as he was condemned. "They'll drag you away" is the actual lyric here. The Mob chose Barabbas over Jesus Christ, the Mob ruled in this case.)

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh

It's over it's done
The end, the big death
If you listen to fools
The mob rules...

(Inaccurate lyrics here..."the ending begun"... This song is all about the death of Christ at the behest of the Mob choosing Barabbas to be spared. The Mob are fools for doing this, however, since Christ's death was necessary to bring eternal life to all. "If you listen to fools..." In other words, don't kill Christ, so he cannot rise.

You've nothing to say
Oh they're breaking away
If you listen to fools

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling and take you right back around

You're all fools, fools rules rules
The mob rules

Dio – Man on the Silver Mountain Lyrics 16 years ago
The Man on the Silver Mtn is the Devil. Wake up.

I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel
I can roll, I can feel
And you can't stop me turning

Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun
I can move, I can run
But you'll never stop me burning

(Satan is the Angel of Light, fallen, but he keeps on going)

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

(Wants to be holy again, came down with fire (fell, like lightning)

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

I'm the day, I'm the day
I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you

I'm the night, I'm the night
I'm the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you

(Satan is darkness, but can still masquerade as the Angel of Light. He can show you "the way"...)

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

Well, I can help you, you know I can

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man, give you my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift your spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain
The man on the silver mountain
I'm the night, the light
The black and the white
The man on the silver mountain

(Everything Dio sings about is vague and this is the way the Devil works, look at Dio's logo/name, turn it upside down, you can see "Devil" or "Evil" in it).
