Sins of the Father (2008 Remaster) Songtext
von Black Sabbath

I am the crazy man, who lives inside your head
But I think I′m breaking through the wall

You are the inocent convicted of the crime
No one was ever there, to catch you when you fall

I see the diamonds, but you only see the rock
I need to run, but you only crawl

It's time to open up all the doors that you keep locked
Nobody gives without a take, let′s take it all

Oh, you've been twisted into pieces, by the hands of your emotions
How much longer are you gonna pay
For yesterday
Sins of the father?

One more crucifixion, one more cross to bear
You're a hole in a photograph


Go on, lose it in the city, the city can feel no shame
See the world with electric eyes

They call it mystery, but any fool could see
You thought he walked on the water

And if the pain was gone, and you were free to run away
And get out

Would you get out of there, or do you really care?
It′s not safe or easy
And maybe when you′re gone, you just won't belong at all

Oh, you′re the only witness, to the murder of an angel
How much longer are you gonna pay
For yesterday
Sins of the father?

Now it's just another crucifixion, one more cross to bear
Go on, lose it in the city
Take a look at the world
You′ve got electric eyes
