Black Sabbath Lyrics
Ozzy Ousbourne-The Ozzman Cometh
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
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, God--please help me
Oh, no--no
Child cries out for its mother
Mother screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh, no
Oh, God
Is it 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, God, no
Figure in black which points at me
Turn 'round quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh, no
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, God--please help me
Oh, no--no
Mother screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh, no
Oh, God
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
You people better go and beware
No, no
Please, God, no

im actually jusft writing this so this song has a comment
uhhh cool?
good song i like the live version on "Speak of the Devil"
obviously about Satan giving the people their dues.
type o negative did two really good cover versions of this song. they did this one, and then did one with the lyrics altered so that it was from Satan's viewpoint.
Yup.
