Back On Earth Lyrics
I have fallen from grace, and my ashes are scattered
No longer a passion and flesh
My flame is alive, though my wings have been shattered
They laid my body to rest.
My spirit is breathing, my senses are pure
Like reincarnation my soul will endure
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
Like fountains of sorrow, the faces are crying
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final for only the living
The spirit will always remain
Bury me deep just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed as the journey begins
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah
Another dimension, a river of light
I'm twisting, I'm turning, my soul is entwined
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh......
Back on earth (you thrill me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth (still breathing)
Back on earth (release me)
Back on earth (you thrill me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
(fade out)
No longer a passion and flesh
My flame is alive, though my wings have been shattered
They laid my body to rest.
Like reincarnation my soul will endure
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final for only the living
The spirit will always remain
My soul is redeemed as the journey begins
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
ah ah ah ah
I'm twisting, I'm turning, my soul is entwined
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth (still breathing)
Back on earth (release me)
Back on earth (you thrill me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
(fade out)

Yo Schorching Blood I've Read All Your Comments And I Must Say YOURE A COMPLETE ASSHOLE Ozzy Is A Master Mind Behind Music That Why They Call Him THE FATHER OF HEAVY METAL And You Dare Disrespect His Great Music I SHOULD WHUP YOUR FUCKING STUPID ASS
This song is great ozzy admitting that he destroyed himself, and is slowly rebuilding his empire as the prince of darkness and father of metal to say he sucks is to say bands the do nothing but roars think hard about thier lyrics. Rarely has an artist ruined thier career and rebuilt it like he has.
This song is from The Ozzman Cometh CD released in 1997. However, the song itself is recorded during the Ozzmosis sessions.
lyricaly speaking, this is ozzys greatest achevement, the extremly mellow feel give listeners a new feel for the prince of darkness, otho no more tears, time after time and mama, im comming home did come out before this this is a true stature for the ozzmans career, this song, and this song alone made him no longer the freak that bites the head off of things but a man looking back on his exsistence, looking back on how he got where he is, and looking into the future to see what is next, this is true poetry
Ozzy is metaphorically representing himself as a phoenix. A phoenix is symbolic to death and rebirth as it builds a nest of spice and sings a song where it bursts into flames and from the ashes rises another phoenix. It sounds like he was at a period in his life where he self destructed and rebuilt himself from his own ashes.
This song has so many dynamics that it seems so great, which it is!!! Ozzy has a voice that makes this whole song come together and he has a past that makes it real. It shows our true human powers called will power and self motivation. Showing how you can be at the bottom or even lower but yet still succeed and become great again. Ozzy is a genius when it comes to music.
im pretty sure i read that its a randy rhoads tribute
THis is an awesome one by Ozzy.
I WANT THIS SONG PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL
This is by far my favorite Ozzy song. The first time I heard it I must not have been paying attention, but I was cleaning and noticed it, so I played it, and when I heard I just froze. I thought, "my god, this is beautiful", and I just stood their for the rest of the song. Right from the beginning I knew I wanted this song played at my funeral. Don't listen to "Scorching Blood". He's a douchebag, and he obviously has no taste in music. Ozzy is a lyrical genius, and just because you don't like his style of music doesn't mean you can rag on Ozzy and call him a bad lyricist. Ozzy is the greatest musician in I don't know how many years, and it'll stay that way for a long time (crap, I'm rambling). OZZY IS GOD!
