Mob Rules

Black Sabbath Mob Rules Lyrics
1.Turn up the Night

A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The (darkened deliver/darken nether), I shake and I shiver down
your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another it's a story told
So get a good hold, yeah

Rattle the voodoo, you thought that you knew who you are
Simple equation, (that's-the-relation/des-o-lation), but that's
gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know,
So let it all go, yeah

Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!

Night hides sorrow, day can light pain
Glick:
Black will not become a, white is for the saint
Slenker:
Black will not be colour, (white's/lies) for saint
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!

A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened (deliver/nether), I shake and I shiver down your
soul
So get a good hold, yeah

Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Gotta turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Turn up the night, or turn off the light!
Get out the light!
Or turn up the night, it feeled right!
Or turn off the light, it feeled right!
Shut off the light!
Or turn up the night!
Turn up the night!


2.Voodoo

Say you don't love me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't love me, you'll learn
Nothin' you'll do will be new, 'cause I'm through, ah-ah.

Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool, it's alright
Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you

So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name 'cause it's voodoo, oh!

Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn

So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes 'cause he's voodoo, oh!

Say you don't love me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't love me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through
Voodoo!

Right!
Bring me your children, they'll burn
Never look back, never turn
Cry me a river, you learn
Voodoo!


3.The Sign of the Southern Cross

If there isn't light when no one sees
Then how can I know what you might believe?
A story told that can't be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah

Fade away, fade away
Vanish into small
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball - oh

It's the sign
Feels like (a) time, hmmm

On a small world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer fall
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain song
Then the beast is free to wander
But never is seen around

And it's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross, alright!
Sail away
To the sign
Ohh

From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalm
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach above your dreams of pleasure
Given life to those who died
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of sign

And it's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can't accept it anymore

Ahh

On a real world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere ohh
There's a rainbow see it shimmer
When the summer fall
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalm
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong

It's the sign of the Southern Cross
It's the sign of the Southern Cross

Don't live for pleasure
Make life your treasure
Fade away

Eight miles high about to fall
And no one there to catch you
Look for the sign, the time
The sign of the Southern Cross, fade on

5.The Mob Rules

Oh...Come on!
Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to
call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the
wall, oh

You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools
The mob rules
The mob rules...

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the
same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the
flame, oh

It's over it's done
The end, the big death
If you listen to fools
The mob rules...

You've nothing to say
Oh they're breaking away
If you listen to fools

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to
the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling and take you right back
around

You're all fools, fools rules rules
The mob rules


6.Country Girl

Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from (another/a nether) world, just to bust another
soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah

We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bit
Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air,
oh, yeah

In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on

Now fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh

Don't sail away on a crimson tide
Don't leave your heart on the other side
Her eyes are an endless flame
Ooh desire what a special name
Don't ever fall in love
Don't give your heart away
No never, never fall in love with a country girl


7.Slipping Away

Ooh! Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster
Nothin' to make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone
Turnnin' the page, yeah, got to start another story
Slippin' away, slippin' away, time to move along

No reason to stay
Oh when I'm slippin' away

Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle
Round and round you go, you're a start without an end
Send you a life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies
Running away, slippin' away, right behind the cloud

Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Nobody to pay
Look out, 'cause I'm slippin' away

Rockin' the glass, I won't leave you my reflection
A future without a past, no more road to take me back, no
Come if you will, yeah, just don't question my direction
Dragging away, slippin' away, we can find the sun

Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Got nobody to pay
So I'm just slippin' away

No more runnin' in a circle
It's time to move along
Round round round we go
A start without an end
So I'm slippin' away
Slippin' away


8.Falling off the Edge of the World

I think about closing the door
And lately I think of it more
I'm living well out of my time
I feel like I'm losin' my mind

I should be at the table round
A servant of the crown
The keeper of the sign
To sparkle and to shine

Never, no never again
Listen to me and believe what I say if you can
Never, this is the end
You know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man
Help me, tell me I'm sane
I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain
Save me, oh take me away
You know I've seen some creatures from Hell and I've heard what
they say

I've got to be strong
Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world, hmm-mm
Think you're safe but you're wrong
We are falling off the edge of the world

Look out there's danger, no where to run
Seems like desperate measures but sometimes its got to be done
Over, its over at last
And the message inside as we build a new life from the past

We're falling off the edge of the world
Yes, the edge of the world
It's the end of the world


9.Over and Over

Sometimes I feel like I'm dyin' at dawn
And sometimes I'm warm as fire
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over and over, and over again, yeah yeah

Too many flames, with too much to burn
And life's only made of paper
Oh how I need to be free of this pain
Watch it goes over and over, and over and over again

Ohhoh and sometimes I cry for the lost and alone
And for their dreams that will all be ashes
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna reign
And it goes over and over, and over and over again

Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
Over and over again
Over and over, and over again
