Shadow of the Wind Lyrics

Cover art for Shadow of the Wind lyrics by Black Sabbath

I've heard this song is about addictions. But it can be interpreted as a slam against Ozzy. We are all aware of Ozzy's addiction problems, hence this song. Note the verses after the first chorus.

Well I'm back and stronger (this is DIO talking of himself in Sabbath again) And the first one's always free And it lasts much longer You can bet your sanity (Ozzy's sanity is unaccounted for)
