Cover art for The Sign Of The Southern Cross lyrics by Black Sabbath

This song is generally about life and the human condition. It's also about the bible and that it's misinterpreted and misused by about 98% of people. And if people can find their way, as it's every individual's journey, to understand the truths found in the bible allegories, we will find peace. Of course, it's not only the Christian bible that contains these truths. It's all of them, as they're one and the same, and it's every person's journey to find the truths therein. The lyrics, like the bible, are to be interpreted through knowledge and understanding. Otherwise, it's just a really cool song with cool sounding words.
