Shock Wave Lyrics

Artist: Black Sabbath
Album: Never Say Die

There's no reason for you to run
You can't escape the fate of the chosen one
Black moon rising, in a blood red sky
This time you realise that you're gonna die

Drinking your blood brew is your answer
That's what you plan to do
No dreaming, time you cheat this master
You're on your own going through

Wind of mist has taken over your mind
And you think you're on your own
Don't believe you are the only one here
Look around, you're not alone

Feel the forces from another world
Ghostly shadows fill your mind
Evil power hanging over you
As you freeze, you're like a child
Look behind you!

Somebody's calling
Someone is near
Feel yourself falling
Falling with fear
You tell yourself you're dreaming
You realise you're screaming
You know that this shouldn't happen to you
You tell yourself that it's scary too
But there is nothing you can do, oh!

Ghostly shadows from the other world
Evil forces in your mind
Trapped between the worlds of life and death
Frozen in the realms of time
Look behind you!

You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line
Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind
Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains
Ice cold fingers, running through your veins

THE SECOND VERSE IS WRONG... IT'S NOT "DRINKING YOUR BLOOD BREW IS YOUR ANSWER..." IT'S "LEAVING YOUR BODY IS YOUR ANSWER," MY MOM USED TO WORK FOR WARNER BROS AND I HAD EVERY SABBATH ALBUM EVER PRESSED... THANK YOU

Corrected lyrics in [brackets]

[Leaving your body] is your answer
That's what you plan to do
[Knowing in] time you['ll] cheat [death's] master

[When darkness] has taken over your mind

As [extremes are] like a [tide]
Look behind you!

You tell yourself that [it just can't be true]

Trapped between the [walls] of life and death

Your body is [calming], but your senses are blind
Cold, cold feelings are running through your [brain]
Ice cold fingers, [flowing] through your veins
