Lyrics The Writ - Black Sabbath

The Writ

The way I feel is the way I am
I wish I’d walked before I started to run to you
Just to you
What kind of people do you think we are?
Another joker who’s a rock and roll star for you
Just for you
The faithful image of another man
The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you
Yeah for you
The shot troopers laying down on the floor
I wish they’d put an end to my running war with you
Yeah with you
Are you metal, are you man?
You’ve changed a lot since you began
Yeah began
Ladies digging gold from you
Will they still dig now you’re through
Yeah you’re through
You bought and sold me with your lying words
The voices in the deck that you never heard came through
Yeah came through
Your folly finally got to spend with a gun
A poison father and his poisonous son, that’s you
Yeah that’s you
I’m begging please don’t let it get any worse
The anger inside will turn to a curse on you
Yeah curse you
A lot of promises that never came true
You’re gonna get what’s coming to you, that’s true
Ah, that’s true
Are you Satan, are you man?
You’ve changed a lot since it began
Yeah it began
Vultures sucking gold from you
Will they still suck now you’re through
(Cats, Rats)
The search is on, so you just better run
And find yourself another way
Rob the dead, then you’ll feel a thing
To keep them living for another day
(Rats, Rat)
You are nonentity, you have no destiny
You are a figment of a thing unknown
A mantle picture of a stolen soul
A fornication of your golden throne
A smiling face, it means the world to me, yeah
So tired of sadness and of misery, yeah
My life it started some time ago
Where it will end, I don’t know
I thought I was so good
I thought I was fine
I feel my world is out of time
But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah
If it don’t I think I’ll lose my mind, yeah
I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know
Listen to me while I sing this song
You might just think the words are wrong
Too many people advising me But they don’t know what my eyes see
