This song appears to be about Ozzy's frustration with god and religion. He is told that god is omnibenevolent and will protected him. Then he is told that he must be pure.
The song is about frustration by how easy it is to be corrupted in the world. Ozzy is trying to figure out if god is watching over him or not because he does not feel as though he is protected. He is "blinded by temptation" and he cannot understand the text of the "book that never ends."
He wants to know if a god is actually protecting him or if he is going to fall into darkness when his life ends.
