BLACK SABBATH LYRICS - A National Acrobat

"A National Acrobat"



I am the world that hides

The universal secret of all time

Destruction of the empty spaces

Is my one and only crime

I've lived a thousand times

I found out what it means to be believed

The thoughts and images

The unborn child that never was conceived



When little worlds collide

I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell

And flashing memories

Are cast into the never ending well

The name that scorns the face

The child that never sees the cause of man

The deathly darkness that

Belies the fate of those who never ran



Well I know its hard for you

To know the reason why

And I know you'll understand

More when it's time to die

Don't believe the life you have

Will be the only one

You have to let your body sleep

To let your soul live on



Love has given life to you

And now it's your concern

Unseen eyes of inner life

Will make your soul return

Still I look but not to touch

The seeds of life are sown

Curtain of the future falls

The secret stays unknown



Just remember love is life

And hate is living death

Treat your life for what it's worth

And live for every breath

Looking back I've lived and learned

But now I'm wondering

Here I wait and only guess

What this next life will bring
