Lyrics Buried Alive - Black Sabbath

Buried Alive

Once upon a nightmare
Once upon a time
You’re running from temptation
You got lost
And found that you don’t
Belong to anybody
You’re all the same
Just another number
Cross it out
Whenever you don’t behave
Someone got the doctor
He knows what to do Throw some bones and mumble
The devil’s inside of you
It might be contagious
It might change the plan
Get back in your tiny boxes
Even if you can’t
We say you can
Join the congregation
Everybody’s got to get in line and
We never justify
The choir sings a never-ending lie
When you thought you were free
You didn’t need a reason
No reason to survive
As the big door closes
And you waiting for the nail
Somebody tell the world
You’re buried alive
Once upon a nightmare
Once upon a time
You’re running from tomorrow
You got lost
And found that another
Day has turned to ashes
Taken by the wind
Frozen seeds of sorrow
Never to begin
Join the celebration
And everybody’s got to get in line and
We never justify
The choir sings a never-ending lie
When you thought you were free
You did not need a reason
No reason to survive
As the big door closes
And you waiting for the mail
Somebody tell the world
You’re buried alive
One more nightmare
Just one more time
Join the congregation
Everybody get in line
Celebration
The choir sings a lie
As you call
The hammer falls
And no one hears you cry
I’m buried alive
