BLACK SABBATH LYRICS - Sins Of The Father

"Sins Of The Father"



I am the crazy man

Who lives inside your head

But I think I'm breaking through the wall



You are the innocent

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



[Chorus:]

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 eye



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



[Chorus:]

You're the only witness

To the murder of an angel

How much longer are you gonna pay

For yesterday

Sins of the father



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
