My neighbor Jim showed me this song, it’s by Black Sabbath from 1971. These guys were the founders of heavy metal! Pretty neat lyrics. That’s Ozzy singing!<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here’s the lyrics:<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever thought about your soul – can it be saved?<br \/>\nOr perhaps you think that when you’re dead you just stay in your grave<br \/>\nIs God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?<br \/>\nIs Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?<\/p>\n<p>When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?<br \/>\nWould you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope – do you think he’s a fool?<br \/>\nWell I have seen the truth, yes I’ve seen the light and I’ve changed my ways<br \/>\nAnd I’ll be prepared when you’re lonely and scared at the end of our days<\/p>\n<p>Could it be you’re afraid of what your friends might say<br \/>\nIf they knew you believe in God above?<br \/>\nThey should realize before they criticize<br \/>\nthat God is the only way to love.<\/p>\n<p>Is your mind so small that you have to fall<br \/>\nIn with the pack wherever they run<br \/>\nWill you still sneer when death is near<br \/>\nAnd say they may as well worship the sun.<\/p>\n<p>I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ<br \/>\nI think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced<br \/>\nWill you be so sure when your day is near say you don’t believe?<br \/>\nYou had the chance but you turned it down now you can’t retrieve.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you’ll think before you say that God is dead and gone<br \/>\nOpen your eyes, just realize that he’s the one<br \/>\nThe only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate.<br \/>\nOr will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes – I think it’s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My neighbor Jim showed me this song, it’s by Black Sabbath from 1971. These guys were the founders of heavy metal!
